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.Â
Failings must and will be held to account, there is no excuse for this level of gross negligence.Â

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:

Lovely to be at Orchard Community Primary School earlier this week in Castle Donington to have a Q&A with Year 6 to discuss the importance of democratic participation for young people in readiness for their School Council elections!
