Morecambe maternity unit 'blamed for 30 deaths': Inquiry finds that scale of scandal was much worse than first feared. UP to 30
babies and mothers died at a scandal-hit hospital because of failings by
midwives and doctors, a damning report is expected to reveal.
The
independent inquiry into baby deaths within University Hospitals of
Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust will show that the scale of the
scandal was much worse than previously feared. It
had been thought that 16 babies and two mothers had died as a result of
shambolic care over nearly ten years at a maternity ward within Furness
General Hospital in Cumbria.
