“''I can never forgive them'' ....how now to forward for anyone ?”

“One less immirgrant to be born in this country!!”

“Testman

What I was trying to say is that we need to plan for the changes in the way numbers in births are affected by the changed make up of our nation sorry if I was clumsey in the way I did this.”

“it sounds as the student midwife here was the most 'clever person' as he/she called for help, whether the appropriate help was not given we can't say, a newspaper article does not give enough insight, but I am sure the formal investigation will have looked at these things.
What the article does not say is that we are extremely understaffed and under-resourced in the NHS (I work in it and have done for over 10 years, mainly on labour wards) and that midwives are supposed to give 'high quality- one to one care' in labour but often are MADE to look after 2 or 3 women with not enough or not the right equipment, in those circumstances things get overlooked and mistakes happen, not because the midwife is not 'capable' but because it's just impossible to be in 3 rooms at the same time!
yes we tell the managers and the person in charge of the shift, after 10 years of doing that it's still NOT changing, what else can we do? if we refuse to look after the women it will be even worse? maybe not, maybe we need to go on strike for these appalling work conditions to END? midwives women children and their families are suffering!”

“Mike, I'm amazed that you somehow managed to work "immigration" into this story. Some of your comments I like but come on, lets not clutch at straws here.”

“The good news is that the mother and baby are fit and healthy and that the hospital has admitted their error. The thing we need to remember is that the rise in births in some areas and this does appear in areas with a higher than average in areas that increased number of immigrants whether they be from within Europe or further afield is putting a great deal of pressure on hospitals and there are not enough mid-wife¿s across many parts of the country and because of the increased in litigation people appear to be moving out of the midwifery side of nursing.”

“Jeez - you lot are truly heartless.

I doesn't matter what the colour of their skin, and for the Hospital to have actually admitted negligence the standard of care and failure to follow procedure MUST have been poor.

Please also note - the Father is working and supporting his family, and to have the right to have another child taken away from them must be very hard to accept - and I'm sure they feel all the more blessed for the children they already have.

Though Nauman may have survived the birth, it remains to be seen of he reaches his milestones in development as he should - brain damage is not always detectable immediately.

As to whether the compensation game is played is their decision - though I hope it will only be if the baby shows signs of needing extra support.

I do remain astounded at some of the comments on here - anyone of you who have children should maybe think how you would feel had any of the births had been like this one.”

“The question is, would they have received such disgusting treatment if they were white people?”

“She would of had to agree to have a student in the room for starters, I know this hospital very well. And also it is a teaching hospital. Also if they have been told they cant have any more children(which it says in the story) then enjoy what you do have, children are a gift, and these people are lucky to have children. Glad the baby is ok.”

“.....nearly died????? But didn't die. mmmmmmmmm.
They were going to have another baby. Why? - they've got two. Many couples would like to have one child but can't.
Stop whining and think how lucky you are!”
