A heartbroken mum has told how her premature baby died after she was left alone to give birth by herself at a scandal-hit NHS hospital. Ashley Lamb lost little Lexie at three months old following delays in her 'substandard' care at two Nottingham hospitals which are at the centre of one of the largest maternity scandals in NHS history. The 27-year-old says she went into labour at 23 weeks pregnant after developing an infection as a result of a procedure which was botched by a trainee doctor.
