Another baby has died at a Midlands hospital where the maternity service was recently condemned as neither safe nor sustainable.

OXYTOCIN. Women’s love drug. The drug associated with her sexual pleasure, with bringing on her labour and bringing down her breast milk.

A Midlands hospital where four newborns died in similar circumstances over a number of years has lost control of its maternity services after a damning report found it was neither safe nor sustainable.

An especially distressing finding of the report was that highlighted by Dr Tony Holohan where dead babies were transported in the boot of a taxi to Tullamore hospital for postmortem.
