Newborn twins killed after doctor gave them TEN TIMES the prescribed dose of morphine

The mother of newborn twins who died following an overdose at a scandal-hit hospital has described their deaths as 'totally avoidable' after a coroner said there were failings in their care.

Alfie and Harry McQuillan, who were born 13 weeks premature, died on November 1 2010.

An inquest into their deaths heard they had been given an 'excessive' dose of morphine hours after their birth at Stafford Hospital on October 30.
