A criminal investigation has been launched following the death of a baby who contracted an infection from a hospital trip.
Officers from the Metropolitan Police Service’s Homicide and Major Crime Command are also “investigating the circumstances” behind the death of a second baby at the same hospital.
The deaths took place at Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation trust on June 1 and June 10.
Scotland Yard said they are liaising with colleagues at Cambridgeshire Constabulary about a third baby who died in similar circumstance at the Rosie Maternity Hospital in Cambridge.
A Met spokesman said: “The current focus of this investigation is on the production of intravenous feeds. We are not investigating the health trusts.
“The MPS is working with a number of agencies to progress matters.
“We are aware of a small number of other babies who received this feed and are working with relevant agencies to speak to those families.”
The families have been notified of the investigation by police, the Met added.
Anyone with information is asked to contact 020 8721 4805.
