"The planned home delivery was facilitated by Edgware Midwives, the designated home birth team at Barnet Hospital, which operates as part of the Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust."
"Senior coroner Andrew Walker, presiding over the inquest into the baby's death at Barnet Coroner's Court, said that the trust agreed to support Poppy's mother, Gemma Lomas, with an unsafe home delivery that was against medical advice."
"In his concluding remarks, Mr. Walker told the court: The home delivery midwives worked against a background of an accumulation of risk factors including a prolonged rupture of the membranes without antibiotic cover."
