A coroner has branded midwife shortages at a hospital where a newborn baby girl died as "nothing short of scandalous".

In a narrative verdict, deputy coroner for Milton Keynes Thomas Osborne said "systems failures" and overstretched staff led to the death of Ebony McCall.

An inquest heard she only had a faint heartbeat when she was born by Caesarean section at Milton Keynes General Hospital in May this year.
Oh the wonderful NHS!
