Nottingham hospitals trust issues apology over baby's death as watchdog launches prosecution

A hospital trust has issued an apology after it was revealed it would be prosecuted by a health regulator following the death of a baby. Wynter Andrews may have survived but for "gross failings" in her care by staff at Queen's Medical Centre, an inquest concluded at Nottingham Coroner's Court.

On July 14, the Care Quality Commission (CQC) said Nottingham University Hospital NHS Trust would be prosecuted over "failure to provide safe care and treatment".

The inquest into Wynter's death heard how Nottingham University Hospitals Trust's neglect in care contributed to the death of baby Wynter Andrews, who was pronounced dead just 23 minutes after being born on September 15, 2019. Wynter's mother Sarah Andrews, a council worker who now lives in Mansfield, says she felt "desperate, forgotten about and abandoned" after being admitted to the hospital the day before.
