Thank you to everyone for the recommendations/guidelines/resources on this subject. This has been very enlightening to me (and will be to others I am sure!) I will press on with getting in touch with the hospitals legalists on this before venturing further. The mother in question is (supposed to be) getting treatment post delivery (was enrolled pre-delivery but was extremely non-compliant). Baby went to the mothers' god-mother for care at this time. Long history - lost custody of 4 other children.
