A Bradford couple say they are "desperate" for answers from a Halifax hospital after the death of their newborn baby.

Paul Swain and Yvette Crook's son, Jacob, died at Calderdale Royal infirmary last April, five hours after he was born.

A report carried out by the Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Trust highlighted a number of failings.

It states “the root cause was found to have been the failure to monitor him during labour.”

The couple have now instructed medical negligence lawyers to carry out an investigation into what happened.

Mr Swain said: “It’s deeply upsetting to know Jacob died following the failings of the hospital, and Yvette and I don’t think it is too much to ask to be given some answers."

Medical negligence lawyer Lauren Bullock, said: “Yvette and Paul are both trying to come to terms with what happened, but it's difficult for them as there are still so many unanswered questions as to what went wrong.

The Trust’s Chief Nurse, Jackie Murphy, said: “The loss of a baby is always a very, very sad occasion and the Trust extends its sympathies to the family.

"The Trust cannot comment on individual cases due to patient confidentiality but is cooperating fully with the Coroner’s investigation.”

Kirklees Council started the policy in West Yorkshire in April and has seized more than 1,300 bins in the south of the borough.
