The report looked at cases of babies born with a potentially severe brain injury following labour, at term, which were reported to the NHS body under a new Early Notification scheme.It is part of a government plan to halve rates of stillbirths, neonatal/maternal deaths and brain injuries linked with birth by 2025.
Before the scheme was set up, families waited an average of 11.5 years for compensation after an incident.In the first year of the scheme, more than 800 incidents were reported and most involved newborn babies having their body temperature cooled - known as active therapeutic cooling - soon after birth to reduce the impact of injury to their brains.The report looked at 96 of those high-risk cases in detail.
"Alongside the need to provide families with prompt interventions and more post-incident support for staff, this report has highlighted the need to develop more clinical interventions to prevent these incidents from happening in the first place.
