'Neglect' issue in mother's death

The coroner has been told that Mrs Hureh's case has led to many changes in procedures at the hospital and is included in a new training course for midwives and doctors.

After the inquest, Sue Gregory, nurse director of Cardiff and Vale NHS Trust said they were "very saddened" at Mrs Hureh's untimely death, had offered their apologies to her family and had carried out an internal investigation.

"This investigation uncovered deficiencies in the care we provided to Mrs Hureh and helped us identify changes to our systems and practices to reduce the risk of such a sad event happening again," she said.

"We now also ensure our midwives undertake specialist training to help identify and treat critically ill women.

"We would like to reassure Mr Yassin and the public that we have learned from this incident, and improvements have been made in the women's unit as a result."
