BREAKING: Dozens of babies died or left brain damaged by poor care at NHS trust.
A damning report into years of maternity failings at an NHS trust has found that dozens of babies died or were left brain damaged by poor care.
The inquiry was commissioned in 2020 by NHS England after growing concerns about the quality of care at East Kent Hospitals University NHS Foundation Trust. Dr Bill Kirkup said his panel of experts had heard the ‘harrowing’ accounts from families receiving ‘suboptimal’ care.Devastatingly, more than two thirds of baby deaths could have had a different outcome if nationally recognised standards of care had been provided.
‘An overriding theme, raised us with time and time again, is the failure of the trust’s staff to take notice of women when they raised concerns, when they questioned their care, and when they challenged the decisions that were made about their care,’ the report said.In 69 of these 97 cases, it is predicted the outcome should reasonably have been different and could have been different in a further 28 cases.
