Government review underway following the death of four babies in less than two years
About 20 obstetricians have threatened to resign from Blacktown hospital in western Sydney, as a government review is underway into the safety of the hospital’s birthing and maternity service following the deaths of four babies in less than two years.
The extensive review is being conducted by the New South Wales Health chief obstetrician and the Clinical Excellence Commission. It commenced in late August after Blacktown hospital confirmed that of about 6,000 babies delivered in the 18 months prior, four unexpected neonatal deaths had occurred. The final report is expected “soon”, Blacktown hospital general manager Ned Katrib told Guardian Australia.
