A hospital in Southend, Essex is a target of an investigation after it was revealed that a first time mum lost her baby since the hospital had a policy of not providing care to babies that are born before 24 weeks of pregnancy.

Tracy Godwin, 31, gave birth to a baby boy just 22 weeks into her pregnancy but though the baby was alive, the doctors refused to provide any medical help and shifted her to a room that was set aside for those mothers who would lose their babies.
