An NHS trust has pleaded guilty to six offences connected to the deaths of three babies in its maternity care.
Adele O’Sullivan, Kahlani Rawson, Quinn Parker died within 14 weeks of each other in 2021 while under the care of the Nottingham University Hospitals (NUH) NHS trust.
The healthcare watchdog, Care Quality Commission (CQC), charged the trust over failures to provide safe care and treatment to the three mothers and their babies.
On Monday, the trust – which is at the centre of the largest maternity inquiry in the history of the NHS – entered guilty pleas to the charges at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court.
It is the second time the CQC has prosecuted the trust over maternity failures.
In 2023, it was fined £800,000 after admitting failings in the care of Wynter Andrews, who died aged 23 minutes in 2019.
