Women are being failed by NHS maternity services with more than 14 babies a day in England either stillborn or dying within seven days of their birth, according to a scathing report by MPs.
It said there were 5,183 such tragedies in England in 2011 – at rates higher than in other UK nations.
Separate data from the World Health Organisation reveals that the country’s stillbirth rate is 3.5 per 1,000 births. Only a handful of European countries including France, Austria, Latvia, Bosnia and Romania have a worse rate.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
