The father of a newborn baby who died after an “avoidable” delay in her delivery has said a hospital’s home birth service played “Russian roulette” with the lives of mothers and babies.
Victoria Gillibrand, 33, had planned to give birth to baby Pippa at her home in Warrington, but when she went into labour on August 25 2024, the home birth team were attending another labour, an inquest at Cheshire Coroner’s Court was told.
