NHS TRUST EDITED A DEAD BABY'S MEDICAL FILE
Kate Stanton-Davies lived for 6 hours. She was born in 2009 at a midwife led unit in Ludlow, run by Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust @sathNHS.
Her mother Rhiannon Davies had reported reduced movement. Nobody acted. Nobody classed her as high risk.
A 2016 investigation found someone had changed Kate's clinical observation notes after she died.
Rhiannon Davies and Richard Stanton @hergehound5 were refused an inquest and had to threaten a judicial review to get one. In 2012 the jury found that delivering Kate in a midwife led unit contributed to her avoidable death.
Their campaign led to the Ockenden Review by Donna Ockenden @DOckendenLtd, which has examined 1,862 cases at the same trust. Kate was case 1.
West Mercia Police @WMerciaPolice opened Operation Lincoln into gross negligence manslaughter. It is still running.
In 2023 both parents received MBEs. They spent over a decade doing the NHS's job for free before anyone admitted what happened.

I recommend you get acquainted with @JacotheNorth who's been reporting on this for years, take a look at his blog there's a wealth of well researched exposes on WG corruption, the media here completely ignores it

Okay, so now we know why. Welsh Labour were hugely benefitting from it.
"We revealed that several Labour Senedd Members and a Welsh Labour MP had received gifts and cash from the company.
Labour MS John Griffiths had received a ticket to the FAW Women’s Cup final – then later sponsored an evening reception for the wind farm developers in the Senedd.
Labour MS Jenny Rathbone’s husband John Uden accepted a position on Bute Energy’s advisory board which was setup to help to promote onshore wind and solar energy projects in Wales.
Clwyd South MS Ken Skates and Alyn and Deeside MS Jack Sargeant had received rugby tickets from the company.
Sarageant’s wife also has links to Bute Energy as she works for Camlas – a public relations company which lists the firm as a client on its website.
Our probe also found that Cardiff North MP and Assistant Government Whip Anna McMorrin had hosted Bute at an event in Westminster shortly after receiving a £3000 donation from the company."

£68 million of pensioners’ money gambled on a wind farm project.
Not a single wind farm built. But the bosses have trousered £58 million in dividends.
This stinks. Welsh taxpayers deserve answers.

NHS doesn’t allow patients to stockpile any medications, even a week’s worth. If we have a blackout for longer than the presumed 3 days, how will people get their prescriptions, as assuming all pharmacy computer systems would be down?

That’s devolution @andyburnham
Not one of Wales's 32 constituencies collects more in income tax and National Insurance than it spends on welfare. Across Wales, welfare spending is nearly double what workers pay in, a gap of £3,062 per adult. That is worse than every English region except the North East.

Fujitsu has landed another government contract – a £9m deal to support the UK’s Emergency Alerts Service. Despite its pledge to pause bidding for public sector work amid the Post Office scandal, contract renewals remain fair game. #PostOfficeScandal computerweekly.com/news/3666…

Leading, mentoring, and generally setting an example for our children is admirable in it's own right. Now add in that you're doing this within the RAF cadets, where amongst other skills, a sense of national duty is engendered upon the youth. You should be proud of your efforts.

My Fight, My Hope, My Life:
Charlotte’s Journey with Brain Cancer
Told in the first person by Charlotte’s mother
18.2.97 - 24.2.16
Charlotte’s Diary The First Few Days of November 2013
The first few days of November have been a real struggle.
I needed to have both a platelet transfusion and a blood transfusion. The platelet transfusion was relatively quick, but the blood transfusion took three hours.
My left arm has also been hurting. Nobody seems particularly concerned about it, so hopefully it is nothing to worry about.
I've been experiencing quite a lot of nausea and vomiting, which has made things even more difficult. One positive is that I'm now completely off the morphine.
I also have quite a lot of moles, particularly across my back. One mole on the left-hand side of the lower nape of my neck has started to bleed. This is an area that falls within the field being targeted by my radiotherapy.
There always seems to be something else to deal with. Just when you think you've got one problem under control, another appears.
At this point, my days are increasingly dominated by treatment, hospital visits and the physical effects of everything my body is going through.
I'm only 16, and this is not what life is supposed to look like.
Why I share these diary entries
Reading Charlotte's words now, I am reminded of just how much she endured at such a young age. Blood and platelet transfusions, nausea, vomiting, pain and the effects of radiotherapy were becoming part of her everyday life.
These are the realities behind a brain tumour diagnosis that people don't always see.
I share Charlotte's journey because I want people to understand that brain tumours affect so much more than the tumour itself. They affect the whole person and the lives of everyone who loves them.
This is why we continue to raise money through Charlotte's BAG. We want to help fund research into better treatments and give other families more hope.
A self funding charity 100% of every donation going to research in Charlotte's LAB

Plaid's COVID 'review' will mean important questions go unanswered and lessons will not be learnt.
It cannot compel witnesses to give evidence. It cannot guarantee transparency.
We need a Wales-specific statutory judge-led public inquiry into the handling of the pandemic

Bute Energy, you know, that Green energy company where Plaid Cymru gave a lifetime peerage to PA director and lobbyist Carmen Smith, gained millions of pensions investments from the government. This was then handed out as dividends! Whout a single wind farm being built.

Some of the stuff that happens here in Wales is incredible.
I would describe it as quite often being like a banana republic.

The Calum Inglis prosecution shows that failures in COVID care can lead to criminal convictions. And the same health and safety legislation applies to hospitals. HSE must explain its enforcement response to failures in monitoring and caring for patients with COVID.
The FIRST criminal prosecution relating to a COVID-19 death has resulted in guilty pleas.
Sodexo & NHS Lothian have admitted criminal charges following the death of Calum Inglis who contracted COVID-19 in HMP Addiewell.
A landmark moment for accountability. 🧵

I think the words ''Urgent action needs to be taken now'' scare them Jane. 😱''We'd be accountable if the actions we take backfire Crazydave'' whispered an insider trembling in fear. 😱😱
