More parents sue over retained organs

Families of dead children whose organs were retained without permission have launched action against the Diana Princess of Wales Children’s Hospital in Birmingham. This follows a report by an independent pathologist indicating the abuses were far worse than originally thought. The test case aims, in particular, to make hospitals more accountable and avoid similar situations. And Alder Hey hospital in Merseyside, already under investigation for the retention of infant organs, has now revealed that some 400 foetuses have also been collected and stored.
