Open and Shut Case


The state Health Department in New York opened and quickly closed an investigation into whether or not parents were kept away from their children in the Lenox Hill Hospital Neonatal Intensive Care Unit during Beyonce's stay after it was determined that the complaints did not come from actual parents...

From The NY Post
The state Health Department yesterday announced that it had opened a probe into the controversy behind the blessed event at the Upper East Side hospital, amid claims that the safety of other babies was put at risk and parents were blocked from seeing their newborns to accommodate the power couple.

But then, hours later, the Health Department abruptly declared it has closed the “review,” saying there was nothing to the controversial claims.

Yesterday afternoon, state Health Department spokesman Michael Moran said, “We have gotten two complaints and we will investigate.”

He said the complaints were “not from parents” — one was anonymous, and the other came from “a person who read about it.”

Hours later, another department official, Jeffrey Gordon, announced, “We have reviewed the complaints and they have been dismissed.’’
