“Today’s sentencing hearing has demonstrated the seriousness of the Trust’s failings towards Wynter and I. These criminal proceedings are designed to act as a punishment and a deterrent. No financial penalty will ever bring Wynter back.
We thank the judge and recognise the delicate balance she made to impose this significant fine, which we hope sends a clear message to the Trust Managers that they must hold patient safety in the highest regard.
Sadly, we are not the only family harmed by the Trust’s failings. We feel that this sentence isn’t just for Wynter, but it’s for all the babies who have gone before and after her.”
