Sophia Smith was just 11 days old when she died at the Royal Hospital for Children (RHC) at Queen Elizabeth University Hospital (QEUH) campus in Glasgow on 11 April 2017.
A newborn baby died from an infection caused by an "absolutely putrid hospital", her mother has told an inquiry into her death.
I live every day of my life knowing she's dead, knowing that absolutely putrid hospital caused an infection in my child and killed her.
In 2021, the case was transferred to the Health and Safety Investigations Unit to be considered alongside, and as part of, an ongoing investigation into four deaths at QEUH as a result of infections linked to the built environment of the hospital.
She also questioned how, despite one-to-one care, hospital staff failed to spot the infection, or see the "rapid deterioration" in her baby.
