Death of baby may have been preventable

The case follows the death of a baby, known as Baby A, on 30 January 2014. Jersey midwives were called in to support their Guernsey colleagues following the baby’s death, providing round-the-clock supervisory support on the ground for six months.

They then provided support when required over the phone for around a year.

This week the tribunal, which is expected to last four weeks, heard that the three members of staff had been working on Loveridge Ward when Baby A was born just after midnight. The very ill baby required resuscitation and died that afternoon.
