Baby Mix Up At ‘Excellent’ Maternity Unit
by Anorak | 9th, February 2008
TWO babies are with the wrong mothers. One mother is British. One mother is Polish.
Two babies have been swapped.
One of the babies is breast-fed by the wrong mother.
The accidental mix up occurs at Bassetlaw Hospital in Worksop, Nottinghamshire.
A hospital spokesman says an investigation has begun into what is an “extraordinary and most unfortunate incident which we deeply regret”.
The BBC reports: “A member of staff at the hospital or a relative reported the incident after the maternity unit was given an ‘excellent’ rating by the Healthcare Commission in its recent report, it is believed.”
How soon after? And define “excellent”…
