'Red' baby death rating for 1 in 5 NHS trusts as UK mums three times more likely to die

Almost 20% of NHS trusts have been branded "red" for infant mortality rates.

The 23 trusts were labelled red in 2020 because their infant death rate was more than five per cent above average.

The shocking statistic was highlighted in a report from by the Mothers and Babies: Reducing Risk through Audit and Confidential Enquiries (MBRRACE).
