Earlier this week, the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care launched a rapid national investigation into NHS maternity and neonatal services.
This will provide truth and accountability for impacted families and drive urgent improvements to care and safety, addressing systemic problems dating back over 15 years.
I’m aware that there is already a corporate manslaughter investigation looking into the failings at maternity units in Queen’s Medical Centre and Nottingham City Hospital, and I will be monitoring this closely alongside the national investigation.
The pain and suffering caused to bereaved families has been devastating, something no parent deserves and we must work harder now to prevent this happening again.
Failings must and will be held to account, there is no excuse for this level of gross negligence.
You can find more information on the investigation here:

This is an incredibly sensitive topic, and I want to highlight the charity Sands, who support anyone affected by pregnancy or baby loss for as long as they need it:

I’ve been really concerned about the high prices that learner drivers are having to pay for a driving test. That’s why I’ve been leading calls to stop driving test swapping - something which has exploded in recent years - and ensure that only learners can book their test.
While learners often have genuine reasons to change their test date, the system of unlimited swaps has been exploited by bots and third parties that hoover up tests as soon as they become available.
Hardworking people who simply want a chance to take their test are being taken advantage of, which is both unfair and deeply damaging to learner drivers across the country.
Together with my colleagues, I am backing the Government in taking the strongest possible action to tackle this issue and bring test prices back down to normal levels, ensuring driving tests are as accessible and affordable as possible.
