Garratts have successfully obtained compensation for Mr H as a result of the negligence of a local hospital. Mr H attended at his local Accident and Emergency department with symptoms of a perianal abscess. He was reviewed by medical staff who basically advised him that he had Haemorrhoids and to apply some cream to the area.
