East Kent baby deaths: Former trust chair demands openness A coroner ruled Harry’s death was “wholly avoidable” and was contributed to by hospital neglect.

Inspectors at the Care Quality Commission are considering a possible criminal investigation, and Kent County Councillor Karen Constantine has demanded a public inquiry.

The Labour councillor said: “If we have to stop short of a public inquiry, then we need a deep dive into the safety culture, and I think it needs to be broader than maternity.”
