Thanks to Dorothy for alerting me to this.

In the Guardian yesterday:

A day-old girl died after “systemic” failings at a troubled maternity unit and would probably have survived had her mother been moved 12 miles to a specialist centre, a coroner has concluded.

There was a series of mistakes in the care of Nelly Webb and missed opportunities to save her after her premature birth at the Royal Glamorgan hospital in south Wales, an inquest in Pontypridd heard.

Nelly was born with respiratory distress syndrome and weighed 1.13kg (2lb 8oz), but a south Wales assistant coroner, Sarah-Jane Richards, said she “would have likely survived” if her mother, Jessica Webb, had been transferred to Cardiff to give birth.

In the above lengthy report, there is no suggestion that the Welsh Government or their Health Secretary (who?) might be involved in this case in any way nor does the opposition (Con) leader appear in media interviews with the mother to demand resignations, even though the health trust’s responsibility for the death has been confirmed by coroner.

In Scotland, even where only the mother is sure the health board is responsible for the death of her child and the coroner has not, we see multiple media reports with images of the Health Secretary, the leader of the creepy opposition posing with the tragic mother, headlines backing the mother’s views and headlines accusing the SNP Government of some failure:

Once more Wales cast clear light on Scotland’s biased media.
