A hospital blunder meant that a newborn baby was given an invasive spinal jab meant for another child, part of a series of NHS gaffes shown by new data.
The mix-up came about because the child had the same surname and a similar first name to another child at the hospital.
In nine months, from April last year until this January 423 similar errors were accounted for. In June alone there were 63 confirmed cases.

One man, who was supposed to have a simple bladder check, ended up being circumcised.
As well as someone's tonsils being removed - when they weren't supposed to be - another person had laser surgery on the wrong eye, having come forward when someone else's name was called.
There were six cases of the wrong eye being injected. Another huge gaffe saw someone have the wrong toe amputated.
In three cases, a woman's ovaries were removed when the plan was to preserve them. Thirty four people had the wrong teeth or tooth removed.
A series of guide wires were also retained post-op but, shockingly, in one case so was part of a drill bit, a knee replacement pin in another two cases as well as surgical swabs on ten occasions and a surgical needle twice.

The prosthesis section of the report was also damning, with 22 people being given the wrong hip replacement and one woman given the wrong breast implant.
The blunders are called 'never events', otherwise known as 'wholly preventable' events that should never happen if guidelines are followed.
The so-called never events can stem from medical negligence, hospital negligence or GP negligence.
The 423 from the recent figures is a rise from 356 errors over 12 months in 2016-17 — the last full year for which figures are available.
'Tory squeezes and failures to recruit,' is what Shadow Health Secretary Jonathan Ashworth blamed the blunders on.
But NHS safety chief Dr Aidan Fowler said: 'It's vital that when they happen, hospitals learn.
'The NHS is one of the safest health systems in the world.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
