Actress Leslie Ash has won more than £500,000 in compensation after she
nearly died from a hospital superbug.

The Men Behaving Badly star has been awarded the record payout from the
NHS.

The lawsuit was due to go to court in April this year.

But her lawyers now believe that the case will complete this week.

Janice Gardner, from Russell-Cooke solicitors, refused to comment on the
size of the settlement. ...

Excellent news. That'll force them to clean up their act!



...and will have £500,000 less to do it with.
Do all sufferers of mrsa receive half a million or just the wealthy?

According to the report I read, she was earning very well at the time and
had the prospects to continue doing so and has been able to work rather
little since. The compensation reflects this. She now can only walk with
the help of a stick.


The compensation figure is reported to be nearer £5 million than £500,000
