Summary

78% Informative

Musgrove Park in Taunton and Yeovil District Hospital , Somerset , were declared inadequate by the Care Quality Commission in May .

One woman was wheeled naked into a reception because the wards were "too hot" Another mother-to-be was "ignored" by midwives when she told them she was going into labour.

She said during the "traumatic birth", she felt "very alone" and ended up with a tear.

Many of the issues have reportedly arisen because the buildings are "not fit for purpose".

Mums who have given birth at Yeovil District Hospital also have concerns about the building.

Hannah Francis said after her son was delivered via c-section in October 2022 , it was "so overcrowded" that there "were five new born babies in a tiny room" Ms Francis said while she was "not medically ready to leave the hospital" she just "had to get out".
