The CQC's prosecution consists of two charges to which the trust has pleaded guilty. The first is for its failures in Sarah's care, the other is for its failures in Wynter's care. The CQC said the trust's failure to ensure the family received safe care and treatment and the subsequent avoidable harm they suffered constituted a breach of regulations 12 and 22 of the Health and Social Care Act.By Rob Sissons, BBC East Midlands Today health correspondentSince it was formed in 2009, it has mounted 85 criminal prosecutions, but only six of those have previously involved NHS trusts.
