00:00I know that no one can ever truly convey the joy of the birth of their baby, babies followed by
00:09the shock of their sudden collapse or death, then grief and enduring sadness.
00:17The anger, some parents feel, at the way they were treated by the Countess was palpable.
00:22They were kept in the dark for years about what was happening, about the fact that there were concerns that
00:28their babies may have been deliberately harmed.
00:31Their consent was not obtained for sharing their baby's medical records with external experts and other organisations.
00:40They were not informed about reviews, and only in 2018 learned that the collapses and deaths may have been the
00:48result of the actions of a nurse whom they had trusted.
00:53Many parents take the view that protecting the reputation of the hospital was more important to senior managers than keeping
01:00them informed about what was happening.
01:03The lack of consideration shown to the parents at that time was reprehensible.
