The babies were overlooked due to an "administrative error" at University of North Staffordshire Hospital and an inquiry has been launched. Patients' groups were shocked managers had still not learned the lessons of the Alder Hey and Bristol heart scandals in which hundreds of organs, tissue samples and bodies of foetuses and children were stored without the parents' knowledge or consent.
