Recommendations

The Health Board, therefore, should review its procedures in this regard.

This dichotomy of view between a Consultant Paediatrician and the Director of Nursing must be resolved and the appropriate protocol put in place. (c)It was clear from the evidence at the Inquiry that the midwives were not certain as to how they instigated the transfer of a sick baby by way of the Neo-natal Transfer Team.

It is essential that midwives faced with a similar situation as in the case of Chloe, know how they arrange the transfer of a sick baby.

It is suggested, therefore, that the Board should consider in more detail how the transfer of a baby in such circumstances could be effected from the midwife-led unit to a Consultant-led unit.

Under section 28 of the 2016 Act, each recipient of a recommendation must respond within 8 weeks. The window from publication ran to 7 November 2005. See how we track responses.
