‘claim for damages for clinical negligence arising out of events which occurred in late September 2003. FB was just over 13 months old at the material time. The First Defendant, was working for an out-of-hours GP cover service, and saw FB at 21:40 on Sunday 28th September. The essence of the case against him is that he failed to take a proper history, to carry out a proper examination of FB, and to heed what he was being told about FB’s condition by WAC. Had these omissions not occurred, it is FB’s case that she should have been referred to hospital at a stage when the administration of antibiotics would have been effective; but in the events which happened, she was not. ‘
