East Kent Trust: Hospital baby deaths 'could have been prevented'
Archie Powell died on 14 February 2019, aged four days. The twin brother of Evalene, he became ill shortly after birth. Medics initially treated him for a bowel problem but despite showing all the symptoms, failed to spot he was actually suffering from a common infection, group B streptococcus.
An internal investigation found:"The CTG should have been continued for longer and an ultrasound arranged." "The trust admitted in both of those cases, that had proper care been given in term of the obstetrics and midwifery care, then those children would have survived," says Emmalene Bushnell, from Leigh Day solicitors, who acted for both families.
This is about a fifth lower than it was a decade ago but remains higher than in a number of other Western countries. All this has been welcomed. However, unions argue one of the biggest problems - a lack of staff - has still not been solved.
