A coroner has asked for more information into the death of a baby just hours after she was born at the Princess Royal Hospital in Telford.
West Mercia Police launched an investigation into the death of baby Poppy Mary Isabella Russell at the PRH on April 11, 2021.
Shropshire coroner John Ellery, at a pre-inquest review at Shirehall, Shrewsbury, yesterday, said the Crown Prosecution Service had considered that Poppy’s death 11 hours and 50 minutes after her birth “had not met the threshold for a criminal prosecution”. The parents of Poppy were taking part in the proceedings online and challenged that, but after a short adjournment the police were able to confirm that Mr Ellery’s understanding of the issue was correct.
The HSIB looks into factors in maternity that have harmed or may harm NHS patients and works with patients, families and healthcare staff, and the organisation says it never attributes blame or liability. Mr Ellery said that the HSIB report had found areas of concern. Mr Ellery said the issue is whether he should duplicate the HSIB’s work and yesterday he invited legal representatives of the Shrewsbury & Telford Hospitals NHS Trust to have their say.
