Seven babies died due to failings at one of the country's largest hospital trusts, it emerged yesterday as a leaked report claimed consultants there regularly refused to work evenings and weekends. Harry Richford was born at the Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother (QEQM) Hospital in Margate in November 2017 after he suffered complications in his delivery and aftercare, dying just seven days later. He was born in November 2017 at the same hospital, but died days later after complications. His mother told the inquest in Sandwich, Kent, she gave birth in 'a room full of panicking people'. East Kent Hospital Trust said: 'We wholeheartedly apologise to families for whom we could have done things differently.'
