Wyllow-Raine Swinburn, born via caesarean section on September 27, died shortly after reaching Oxford's John Radcliffe Hospital on September 30. Despite her family's experience with delays in contacting emergency services, the inquest found that ambulance delays did not contribute to her death.
Ambulance delays did not contribute to the death of a newborn baby, despite her family having an "awful" wait on a 999 call, an inquest has heard.
In evidence given previously, grandmother Anna Fisher said that three days later the infant was crying and had a fever when she was taken to bed at the family home in Didcot, Oxfordshire. Giving evidence, Karen Sillicorn-Aston, clinical governance lead for South Central Ambulance Service , said the call was made at 04:38 BST and was disconnected by a BT operator - whose job it was to listen in to all calls before they were answered - five minutes later.
By the time an ambulance arrived, the baby's body temperature had fallen to 30.8C, the hearing was told. Prof Richard Lyon, an emergency department consultant, said in a statement that Wyllow-Raine's prospects of survival after going to cardiac arrest were likely less than 1%, and an ambulance arriving earlier would not have improved those chances.
