Grieving mum Sarah Andrews - who lost her baby after she was born at Nottingham's Queen's Medical Centre - hopes the £800,000 fine slapped on Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust will send out a clear message to Trust's managers. Reading from a statement outside Nottingham Magistrates' Court, Mrs Andrews, with husband Gary by her side, added: "That they must hold patient safety in the highest regard..
"Sadly, we are not the only family harmed by the Trust's failings. "We feel that this sentence isn't just for Wynter but it is for all the other babies that have gone before and after".
Mrs Andrews teared up with emotion, her voice breaking, as she delivered her last sentence to the waiting media who have followed the case since Wednesday this week (January 25) when the Trust pleaded guilty to failing to provide safe care and treatment to new mum Mrs Andrews and her cherished first-born baby daughter, Wynter Andrews, who died after just 23 minutes of life.
