The mum of a baby whose death was contributed to by neglect at a hospital is furious that mothers and babies could still be being failed by the Trust. Jodie Stubbs’ boy Iva-Jaylon Champion Weekes died at two months old.
He was born at 24 weeks. An inquest into his death found there had been a catalogue of failings in his care in the days before he passed away.
Iva was one of 31 babies who died in the care of the Royal Stoke in 2021. Now, the University Hospital North Midlands NHS Trust has been told if urgent improvements are not made to its maternity care, its governors, board and directors could find themselves replaced by outside administrators, StokeonTrentLive reports.
