David & Raynor:
The judgment makes clear there were significant causation issues. If the negligence caused all the injuries (including a "catastrophic stroke") the claim would have been worth more.
It would appear the medical evidence did not support all the causation arguments, which means the admitted negligence only caused some of the injuries, not all of them.
Differences in value like this are pretty common in complex clinical negligence cases.
Don't make the mistake our current government is making of lumping them in with low value whiplash claims.
