A WINSF'RD mother has spoken of her anguish at facing a third funeral for her daughter.

Caroline Pitts lost her daughter, Danielle, on November 18, 1989 when she was just 18 months old.

But in September last year it was revealed that Alder Hey Hospital, in Liverpool, had taken organs from Danielle without the familys permission.

Mrs Pitts said: I was on my way to pick up my son from school when the news came on the radio with a helpline number.

I contacted them and was told Danielle was one of the children. No one can understand the way I felt except the other parents.

Eventually the organs were returned and the family held a second burial last 'ctober.

But last week there was more heartache for the Pitts when a further store of body parts was discovered at the Liverpool childrens hospital.

I felt sure Danielle could not be involved again, but she was, said Mrs Pitts.

It is not possible to come to terms with this. I cannot describe it.

The feeling of helplessness and despair is unbearable. I could not do anything to help Danielle in her short life and I find now I cannot look after her in death.

Coping with the death of a child is all but impossible. We thought we were on the road to recovery as much as we could be, but now this.

The hospital confirmed last week that parts of 146 brains had been found which had been stored at Liverpool Universitys Myrtle Street building. The total number of families affected by the scandal could now be as many as 930.

A joint statement from Alder Hey Hospital and the University of Liverpool said: The NHS Trusts process of cataloguing childrens organs previously stored at the universitys Myrtle Street building, now located at Alder Hey, has been concluded.

As a result of this detailed exercise, brain tissue not previously catalogued has been identified.

This tissue had been stored separately as the subject of research study, but was subsequently moved with other organs when they were transferred to Alder Hey in June.

The fact that this had not previously been catalogued came to light during this exercise. The university and the trust deeply regret this situation and are working together to try and reduce the distress caused to parents.

The Pitts family is now awaiting the results of an enquiry before they decide on what legal action to take.

Mrs Pitts said: I handed over my daughter with total trust, but now I can never trust the medical profession.

We have been to see the undertaker to arrange a third burial and are trying to cope and get on with life. But we will not hurry this time. With so many atrocities I just wonder what next?
