Specialist medical negligence lawyers at Irwin Mitchell are representing many of those patients affected by Ian Paterson in civil claims against Spire Healthcare and have already settled many claims against the NHS.
Sara Burns, a medical negligence Partner at Irwin Mitchell, said: “Today those patients affected by Mr Paterson have some justice for what happened but nothing can turn back the clock on their own individual treatment and for many what happened to them was life changing. The numbers of people affected are staggering and it is crucial that the whole healthcare industry learns from this as soon as possible to improve policies and checks and prevent any possible repeats.”
