UK maternity scandal: Light shone on dead babies.

A UK inquiry, the Ockenden report, has revealed that several UK hospitals failed to save babies and provide adequate postmortem care. One baby who could have been saved was left to decompose in the morgue. They lied about her cause of death. But she was the baby of a doctor, a consultant in acute medicine. The pathology report stated the baby had an infection. The consultant, Dr. Jack Hawkins, disputed this finding. He proved that no pathogen had been isolated, and his wife had no maternal infection. The hospital refused to admit fault. He later obtained emails in which staff had spoken about his dead daughter, saying she was so decomposed they had to “triple bag” her before placing her in her coffin.

If it had not been for Dr. Hawkins, they might still be doing this to babies. Many babies had fallen victim to the hospital of horrors.
