23 NHS trusts rated ‘red’ for infant mortality rates
23 trusts were given the rating in 2020, meaning the death rate for babies was more than five per cent higher than average, the Daily Mail reports.
The report from Mothers and Babies: Reducing Risk through Audit and Confidential Enquiries examined stillbirths and deaths within four weeks of birth. Another report from the group found the number of women who died within six weeks of giving birth had gone up by a quarter over five years. 229 mothers died alongside 27 of their babies from 2018 to 2020 - and many of the deaths were found to be ‘avoidable.’
