NHS Admits Liability for 1967 Baby Swap Uncovered by DNA Tests

Two women discovered they were switched at birth 55 years ago, leading to ongoing compensation negotiations with the NHS.

The baby swap was revealed when a man named Tony discovered through a DNA test that his supposed sister, Jessica, was not biologically related to him.
The DNA test identified Claire as Tony's full sibling, who had always felt out of place in her family, prompting further investigation.
The NHS trust responsible for the hospital where the swap occurred has admitted liability, calling it an 'appalling error'.
The families involved are seeking compensation, marking the first known case of its kind in NHS history.
Despite the revelation, Joan, Tony's mother, maintains her emotional bond with Jessica, the daughter she raised, stating she will always be her daughter.
