The Shrewsbury and Telford NHS Trust has been under investigation for failings in maternity care.
During delivery Jack's shoulder got stuck. By the time he was born he'd had no heartbeat for 15 minutes. Doctors were able to resuscitate him but he was rushed to intensive care.
Jack's death was one of 23 cases of concern when independent midwife Donna Ockenden was asked to investigate the Trust in 2017.

She was left waiting for 45 minutes.
Her case and several others are being investigated by the police. The West Mercia force announced it was carrying out a criminal investigation into deaths at the Trust in 2020.The bereaved families who have fought hard to get answers say this report must be a watershed moment for maternity care across the country.
