Concerns about the care of Rumer Gomez

Pregnancy 1: Delays in care-planning

Pregnancy

1.Delays in care-planning

This was a common theme throughout the antenatal period, in which we found significant difficulties in accessing some specialisms, notably NeonatologyNeonatologySee Neonatal Unit Who’s Who entry. Additionally, some professionals were keen to delay care-planning discussions until later in the pregnancy, despite this being against our clearly expressed wishes and having a potentially negative impact on Rumer’s care.
