Doctor in Baby P warning sues NHS

A SENIOR doctor who claimed Baby P could have been saved if her warnings had been heeded is suing the NHS for compensation.

Consultant paediatrician Dr Kim Holt raised concerns about the child development clinic at St Ann's Hospital in Tottenham, London, where the little boy was seen two days before his death in 2007.

Dr Holt and colleagues warned in 2006 that the clinic, run by Haringey Primary Care Trust with Great Ormond Street Hospital Trust doctors, was understaffed and had a "chaotic" appointment system.
