The document is a report by the Health and Disability Commissioner regarding the care provided to Mrs. A during her pregnancy and delivery by midwives Ms. E and Ms. F, culminating in the tragic death of her baby, Baby A. The inquiry was initiated following concerns about the quality of maternity services in Wellington, particularly focusing on the adequacy of care and information provided by the midwives. Key issues included an undiagnosed breech presentation during labor, inadequate response to abnormal findings during examinations, and failure to call for emergency support in a timely manner. The report concludes with recommendations for improved oversight and mentoring for new midwives, as well as enhancements to emergency protocols at maternity units.
