Victorian public hospitals secretly paid a combined $20 million in compensation in 2009 over 25 botched births …
… the $20 million figure represented almost half of the $41.7 million in medical compensation paid out in 2009.
… some hospitals were more open than they used to be about the mistakes they made, but more transparency was required.
