More than 1,700 cases of possible harm to newborn babies and mothers are being examined in Nottingham, as the independent midwife leading the investigation said families were 'simply not listened to' and were 'pushed away'.
The number of deaths and injuries to newborn babies and mothers in Nottingham is set to be the biggest maternity scandal in the NHS.
The independent midwife leading the investigation, Donna Ockenden, has told Sky News:"I've seen an awful lot of evidence that local"They were disregarded, they were pushed away and the door was closed. And with that culture learning is going to be lost." Nick Carver said:"For too long we have failed to listen to women and families who have been affected by failings in our maternity services."Families should not have to fight to get the answers they deserve and we are committed to gaining their trust, and the trust of all our communities by listening and engaging with them.
