THE first baby delivered at Hillingdon Hospital this New Year was to first-time mother Eleni Kailou and new father Phillip Kyriakides.

The little girl, born at 01.51 on January 1 and weighing 7lb 5oz , is as yet unnamed. Mother and baby are doing well.

This year, to welcome new-born babies, a bag of gifts is being given to the family of the first-born child on Christmas Day and New Year's Day in the Labour Ward and the Midwifery-Led Unit in maternity at Hillingdon.
