The parents of a baby boy who died at a scandal-hit NHS trust say they now have “some sort of justice” after spending years fighting for change.
Harry Richford’s “wholly avoidable” death in November 2017 led to East Kent Hospitals University NHS Foundation Trust being charged and taken to court.
His parents say they fear that serious failings would have been “brushed under a carpet” if they had not campaigned for answers.
There have been reports that at least seven preventable baby deaths may have occurred at the trust since 2016.
On Monday the trust admitted failing to provide safe care and treatment to Harry and his mother Sarah Richford under the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations, in the first prosecution of its kind.
