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.
