These days, we seem to be straight down the "what can I get from this" compensation route, rather than, the somebody f*****d up, how can we all learn from this and stop it happening again. Sh*t happens.

I'm sorry for the anguish that you father has sufferred, but as said abov, be glad he is in fact OK. Work with and ask the hospital to check its proceeduires so this can't happen again, but move on.

Compensation claims mean the lawyers win, but your father would still get very little, and ultimately money that could have been spent imporving service so it doesn't happen gets diverted from the health service.
