Shipman reforms 'could have saved Furness General Hospital babies'
Baby deaths at an NHS hospital could have been prevented if reforms recommended after the Harold Shipman case were made, it has been claimed.
Dr Bill Kirkup, who investigated 11 baby deaths at Furness General Hospital in Barrow, said "proper" death certification could have saved lives.
An inquiry into killer GP Harold Shipman said Independent examiners should scrutinise death certificates.
