Last March Olivia Graham was awarded over half a million pounds in damages as a result of a hospital error which left her permanently brain-damaged. At the Heart of the Matter are reparation and responsibility: the questions of conscience raised by medical negligence. How far should patients be protected in law against unforeseen tragedy? Should doctors have to be haunted by the spectre of litigation when going about their business of saving lives?
Helena Kennedy talks to the people involved.
