EXTRA checks have been introduced at a hospital after a woman gave birth to a healthy baby - even though she'd had an abortion.
Managers at Derby City General Hospital said additional measures have been implemented to prevent a repeat incident.
There is a possibility the woman, who has not been named, was carrying twins, but the hospital said its procedure covered multiple births - and would not comment on whether the patient in this case had been expecting more than one child.
The local NHS trust carried out 1,301 abortions last year. A hospital spokesman said: "Although this happens rarely, a continuing pregnancy is a risk of this procedure. We take great care to minimise this."
