\"\"Former drink and drug addict, Ryan St George, 42, was serving a four month jail sentence at Brixton jail back in 1997 when he took an epileptic fit and fell from his prison bunk bed banging his head on the floor. What happened next was a series of events that left St George needing constant care for the rest of his life.<\/p>\n

Once the guards had been alerted to St George’s accident they called for an Ambulance. The Paramedics were delayed in treating St george because their Ambulance was blocked from entering the prison gates by a parked van. Prison warders then argued who should accompany St George to the hospital, further delaying treatment. One Paramedic was quoted as saying St George’s condition was, “in as bad a state as a person can be without being dead.”<\/p>\n

Upon hearing the evidence against the Home Office, High Court judge Mr Justice Mackay, ordered that the former prisoner should receive \u00a34.7 Million in compensation<\/a>. He also told the Home Office that they must pay St George \u00a345,000 rent for a new flat. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
