‘I would like to see a full independent investigation into the unit so that the truth of just how many people’s lives have actually been so unnecessarily ravaged at the system can emerge.’

He has actually released a civil action versus Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust, which runs the services at the maternity system.

In a report from August, inspectors from health care guard dog the Care Quality Commission (CQC) branded services at the maternity system as insufficient total.

‘Our loss is countless, however to hear others have actually suffered at the medical facility considering that Gabriela died is undesirable.

‘Something needs to be done to stop this from happening again in the future and I hope an independent investigation would help achieve that.’
