A third premature baby has died from a rare blood infection at a hospital in Glasgow.
The baby died at the Princess Royal Maternity Hospital, where two other premature babies also lost their lives earlier this year.
The third baby has not been identified, although the health board confirmed that Staphylococcus aureus infection was a contributing factor in the death.
An incident management team (IMT) was set up earlier this year to investigate three cases of the Staphylococcus aureus blood stream infection following the deaths of two premature babies.
