Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust has been fined 1.6 million for severe failings resulting in the deaths of three infants in 2021. The trust admitted guilt to multiple counts of not providing safe care, ultimately endangering both mothers and babies. A judge expressed that the avoidable nature of these tragedies reveals a broken trust in the system meant to protect them. Historical investigations have uncovered numerous similar incidents, indicating widespread problems in the maternity care system at NUH.
The grief of a baby is not just about the past, it is about the future that is stolen. It is very difficult to move on from the failures.
The court was told that 'serious and systemic failures' exposed all three mothers and their babies to significant risk of harm.
