Eighth baby born in ambulance since maternity unit shut
Happily, the young mother, a non-national, and her baby, are doing fine, but it is the eighth such birth since the tragic death of Bronagh Livingstone after being born prematurely in an ambulance three years ago.
The hospital’s maternity unit closed in 2001, and a year later 32-year-old Denise Livingstone was refused admission when she arrived at the hospital in the middle of the night in an advanced state of labour.
