Hospital apology to mother for keeping dead Baby
A Hospital in Warrington UK has apologized to a 25 year old mother whose miscarried baby’s body was kept for almost two years without her permission in the mortuary.
Leanne McCabe, discovered the body of her son had been frozen when she had a second miscarriage at the hospital last year.
A Warrington and Halton Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust spokesman apologized for the distress caused to Leanne and was due to; “An administrative error.”
The hospital spokesperson continued; “We are truly sorry for the distress caused to Leanne and her family and have worked very closely with them to provide the appropriate support they needed once we identified what had happened. We have fully investigated this case and it was caused by an administrative error.”
Two other similar cases which were being dealt with at the hospital were also disclosed.
“As a result of the investigation we are also aware of one other case from 2006 and one from 2007 where there was a delay in carrying out a family’s requested instructions. We have however followed those families’ instructions as per their requests.”
