'Catalogue of failures' at maternity unit

AN NHS trust which failed to provide safe treatment to three babies who died within weeks of each other has been fined a record £ 1.6 million.

Adele O'Sullivan, Kahlani Rawson and Quinn Parker died in 2021 while under the care of the Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust. The trust, which is at the centre of the largest maternity review in NHS history, admitted failing the babies and their mothers.

It was previously fined £800,000 in 2023 following the death of another baby, Wynter Andrews, in 2019.

But the latest fine, from a judge at Nottingham magistrates court, is double the amount.
