Up to 45 babies might have survived if they had received better care at East Kent NHS Hospitals Trust
I'm Nick Meir with news that up to 45 babies might have survived if they had received better care at East Kent NHS Hospitals Trust, a damning independent review has found. It uncovered a "clear pattern" of "sub-optimal" care that led to significant harm, and said families were ignored. The medical experts reviewed an 11-year period from 2009 at two hospitals in Margate and Ashford. The trust, which has been heavily criticised by parents, apologised for the "harm and suffering". The independent review, which was chaired by Dr Bill Kirkup CBE, added the trust had given the appearance of "covering up the scale and systemic nature" of its problems.
