A Cardiff hospital has been forced to apologise for flaws in the way it diagnosed miscarriages over many years.

It follows the case of a woman who was wrongly told she had miscarried nine weeks into her pregnancy after a scan at the University Hospital of Wales.

Emily Wheatley, from Monmouth, went on to have a healthy baby daughter.

The Public Service Ombudsman for Wales believes flaws in UHW's practices may have gone back as far as 2006. A helpline has been set up for patients.
