A midwife's newborn baby died after "unacceptable delays, misclassification and miscommunication" at the hospital where she works.

When asked if it is more likely than not that Luca would have survived if different action had been taken, Mr Maher replied: "Yes."

Luca's death was not immediately reported to the coroner which Mr Maher explained was due to the obstetrics and neonatal teams not working "in a joined-up way". "All neonatal deaths are now reported to the medical examiner and to the coroner," he added. A number of action plans have been implemented at East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust following Luca's death. These include new CTG guidelines and guidance on when a deteriorating situation should be escalated and to whom.
