Shrewsbury and Telford NHS Trust: 300 Babies deaths

[arista]

[The findings of a five-year investigation
into the maternity scandal at the Shrewsbury
and Telford NHS Trust lead the front page
of the Sunday Times.
The paper says the inquiry will report
this week that 300 babies died or
were left brain damaged because a
"fixation on natural births" meant their mothers
were denied caesarean sections.]

Im surprised this isn't countrywide if I'm honest. We all know how stretched the NHS is, and a cesarean is a surgery with risk involving using a theatre, and a lot of clinical staff. I would have thought it's a given that that would not be an option unless absolutely necessary?
Surely it's the consultants and nor the trust who advise on individual labours and how at risk the birth is?

Yes it is sad
but I assume making it Front Page
will get Live Debates TV and Radio on
this week.

sick. abolish the nhs now and stop this pain.

I think this is designed to erode trust and support for the NHS.
The issue is not care it's funding or the use of funding.

[Livia]

The hospital's misplaced pride in their high rate of natural births and dogged determination that everyone will give birth naturally, caused the death of these babies. I had an emergency c section, I know lots of women who have. To have been denied that help by professionals whose job it is to make sure you and your baby are safe must have been enraging and terrifying. I hope jobs are lost over this.

If you take the words of the people this has effected, if you listen to their stories, the issue actually seems to be the care, or lack off.

Lets just ignore the NHS killing 300 babies in case it might give people a negative image of the NHS! what a ridiculous mindset.

When should be talk about how ****ty the NHS is?
when they kill 1000 babies? 10000 babies?

i was recently in icu, and the team that looked after me saved my life, and it didn't cost me a penny, try doing that in america

ICU you probs get ok care, depending on the hospital
if its a complete emergency you get ok care, depending on the hospital
if you have anything that isnt an emergency expect to wait until it is an emergency before you get the care you need, and care will be ok depending on the hospital

Sorry to hear that BOTS glad you're OK now.

I was in A+E a couple of weeks ago ( nothing life threatening ) and even though the wait was long, I was treated very well and was in awe of the staff. We are so spoilt here we have no idea what it would be like to be held to ransom for our lives by insurance companies.
This seems to be specifically targetted at maternity services, all areas of the NHS are drastically underfunded causing failings and deaths where's the report on that?
Where is the reports on failing private care homes for children and the elderly who have been found to be woefully negligent?
Somebody has their eye on maternity services as the next big money maker.
