Request
I'm a journalist from ITV News and under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, I would like to request the following information:The number of babies (under 1 year old, including stillbirths if applicable) who died in your care between 1 January 2010 and the present day (or the most recent available year).Of those deaths, how many cases involved an admission of failure to provide safe care or treatment by your Trust (whether through internal investigation, complaint outcomes, or legal claims)?For those cases where a failure was admitted: a. Please provide the recorded ethnicity of each baby (or mother, if the baby’s ethnicity is not recorded). b. If possible, include any notes on contributing factors or root causes identified.If the full dataset is not available, please provide whatever portion is available, along with any relevant caveats.If this request exceeds the cost/time limit, please advise how I can narrow it.
Response
Thank you for you FOI request. Central London Community Healthcare NHS Trust (CLCH) is a community based organisation which specialises in providing care in the community. Therefore CLCH does not operate a Maternity service and this FOI will not be applicable to CLCH.
