The news that two new mothers have died, soon after giving birth is deeply tragic. No words can improve this terrible situation for the families but we can offer our prayers and express our sympathy, love and support. The enormity of their loss is unimaginable.

As far as the medical establishment is concerned, if this infection proves to have come from the hospital concerned, lessons must be learned.

Whatever the cause, I make a plea that homeopathic care in hospitals should be considered, alongside the current methods, whether in A & E, Maternity, Surgical Wards or elsewhere, in an effort to improve the level of care offered and to try to reduce the risk of such appalling tragedies. Who can tell when the risk might come closer to home and which of us may personally be at risk in the future, from hospital-borne infections.

"Teachers Amy Kimmance, 39, and Jasmine Pickett, 29, both became mums on December 21.

They died days later of complications from group A streptococcal infections."
