A mother from West Lothian is taking legal action against NHS Lothian after her baby was born with severe brain damage.
Caitlyn Pratt says her concerns during labour were ignored by medical staff, resulting in her daughter suffering serious and lasting injuries. The case has been brought against the health board seeking accountability for the care provided.
Questions About Maternity Care
The details of the specific clinical failings alleged have not been fully disclosed, but Pratt has spoken publicly about her experience to highlight what she describes as failures in the standard of maternity care she received.
NHS Lothian has previously said it does not comment on ongoing legal proceedings. The case is one of several maternity negligence claims that have been brought against Scottish health boards in recent years, raising broader questions about staffing levels and care standards in maternity units across Scotland.
