NHS Faces Historic Compensation Case for Babies Swapped at Birth

Two women discover they were switched at birth in 1967 at a West Midlands hospital, prompting an ongoing legal battle for compensation.

Tony's 2021 DNA test revealed an unexpected sibling, leading to the discovery of the baby swap.
Claire and Jessica, the women swapped at birth, were born hours apart in the same hospital.
The NHS admitted liability for the error, but compensation discussions remain unresolved after two and a half years.
Claire never felt she belonged in her upbringing, while Joan and Claire have since formed a close bond.
The case is the first documented instance of such an error in NHS history, highlighting past maternity ward practices.
