A two-day-old baby born at Lincoln County Hospital died due to staff missing his mother’s underlying diabetes, an inquest heard.
Robert Luke Goddard was born six days late on April 18, 2013, at Lincoln County Hospital.
He was born via emergency caesarean section, and was not breathing when delivered.
Staff spent almost 30 minutes trying to resuscitate him, though the specialist team did not arrive after his birth for almost 18 minutes.
However, due to lack of oxygen, he suffered brain damage and died two days later after it was decided to withdraw intensive care.
