"life-threating conditions on the delivery unit"

About: Addenbrooke's Hospital / Gynaecology

Date of visit: 24-25/05/2019 Unfortunately, the delivery unit does not have enough personnel, in particular consultants (OB) present at the unit. Moreover, I was informed today (25/05/2019) that they also do not have the basic medication in the unit such as magnesium sulfate and in case of need it has to be ordered and deliver from outside the unit which takes couple of hours. Lower medical personnel, such as midwives does not follow consultant instructions and ignore prescriptions. It also seems that test results are not checked regularly due to being understaffed. For the same reason - no plan of treatment or any other information is provided even on request.
