'Musketeer' nurse at heart of Morecambe Bay baby death scandal 'significantly overpaid' in goodbye deal

'Musketeer' nurse at heart of Morecambe Bay baby death scandal 'significantly overpaid' in goodbye deal The midwife at the heart of a scandal where 11 babies avoidably died was “significantly overpaid” in a farewell deal which also prevented investigation of her conduct.

Jeanette Parkinson, the former maternity risk manager at University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay Foundation Trust, received up to 14 months’ salary as part of a 2012 redundancy agreement after the deaths came to light.

A review by the trust last year, seen by the Health Service Journal, found Ms Parkinson, one of a group of midwives calling themselves the “Musketeers”, also received more than 470 hours in overtime pay. The Daily Telegraph
