Rotherham NHS Foundation Trust has been fined £200,000 for exposing babies to 'serious risk'.
A hospital trust has been fined £200,000 for putting four babies at "serious risk"of harm.
The trust earlier admitted a charge that it exposed service users to "a serious risk of avoidable harm". Ms Redhouse also heard how a month-old baby brought in with a mouth injury on 20 January 2019 was on a child protection plan but this was not spotted by the paediatric nurse who examined the baby. Eleanor Sanderson, mitigating for the trust, said: "The trust wishes to express to the court its deep regret for the circumstances which gave rise to these offences and the risk posed to those who required safeguarding."
Ms Redhouse acknowledged the trust had worked hard to improve and had replaced most of the senior executive posts, including the chief executive.
