Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has said the case of Wynter Andrews, who died after failings at a Nottingham hospital, shows more must be done' to improve maternity safety. Mr Sunak spoke of baby Wynter, who died just 23 minutes after she was born at Queen's Medical Centre in September 2019.
Nottingham University Hospitals (NUH) was fined £800,000 over serious failings in the care and treatment of her and mum Sarah Andrews. During Prime Minister's Questions in the House of Commons on Wednesday, February 1, David Wantage, MP for Wantage in Oxfordshire, relayed Sarah and Gary's experience of a lack of transparency from NUH as they dealt with Wynter's death.
He asked: "Does my right honourable friend agree with me that this case, this situation, has to serve not just as a watershed moment for having the highest standards of maternity care but also when things do go wrong in something like an NHS trust or another public body they have to be open, honest and transparent about their failings so people can get the truth and not have it hidden from them?
