Hospital chiefs have failed to get to the bottom of why an unusually high number of neo natal babies have been dying in Shropshire.
Shrewsbury and Telford Hospitals Trust
Dr John Jones, Executive Medical Director for The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust, said: “Our neonatal teams care for hundreds of very unwell babies through the early critical days of their lives. “However, although they described examples of good care, there were also examples of poor care that should have been significantly better. We apologise wholeheartedly for this.
The trust say that invited reviews are best practice and demonstrate our desire to maintain transparency and to learn. The most unwell babies, or babies with very complex needs, are transferred and cared for by specialist hospitals in the network, or hospitals with larger neonatal intensive care facilities.
