Parents-to-be, Amy and Jamie, could not wait to welcome their new baby to the world after an uneventful pregnancy. But they never got the chance to bring their healthy little girl, Harper, home after she was stillborn.
Shocking failings by The Royal Oldham Hospital staff to take care of Amy and her baby have been admitted by the hospital trust, which concluded that had ‘appropriate monitoring been carried out’ the findings would have led to earlier delivery, ‘with Harper being born alive’.
Amy Harrison was days overdue and left alone in a hospital side room ‘all night’ without being checked by a doctor or midwife after being induced, she told the Manchester Evening News . Amy’s baby’s lack of movements went unnoticed and she died - but could have been saved.
