A newborn baby, August 6, 2013

THE lives of three newborn babies could have been saved if “reasonable precautions” had been taken, a fatal accident inquiry found today.

The inquiry, before Sheriff Principal Aisha Anwar KC, was launched after the deaths of newborns Leo Lamont, Ellie McCormick and Mira-Belle Bosch.

Just two hours old, Leo died at University Hospital Monklands on February 15 2019, while five-hour-old Ellie died at Wishaw General Hospital just weeks later on March 5, and 12-hour-old Mira-Belle died on July 2 2021, also at Wishaw General Hospital.
