A hospital trust is to be prosecuted over the death of a baby who died 23 minutes after being born. 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.
Now, the Care Quality Commission (CQC) said Nottingham University Hospital NHS Trust would be prosecuted over "failure to provide safe care and treatment". Fiona Allinson, CQC Director of Operations - Midlands Network, said: “We have now concluded our investigation into the care provided to a mother and her baby by Nottingham University Hospital NHS Trust.
"As a result of that investigation, we intend to prosecute the trust for its failure to provide safe care and treatment under Regulation 12(1) of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014 (RAR 2014) and will report further as soon as we are able to do so.”
