The coroner's concerns
1. live birth after termination of pregnancy
“in this case performance of late terminations of pregnancy i.e. 21/40 gestation resulted in a live birth”
2. distress to midwives
“extremely distressing for the midwives caring for the mother to be presented with a live baby which is not to receive life-saving medical attention”
3. recurring live birth after termination
“A similar case arose at Inquest in the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital only six days ago so live birth post induction of labour for termination of pregnancy is not an isolated occurrence”
