A major review into Nottingham's maternity services is continuing
The Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust says it will be more honest with families affected by maternity failings as a major review into its services continues. It comes after The Sunday Times reported a significant change to the way the maternity review is being run, which means around 1,700 families are now expected to have their cases examined.
"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. Some families, who we have had the chance to meet, have told us they want a meaningful apology that they recognise as meeting their needs, including accountability and a change in the culture."We will work with them and other families to make that happen.
The change will leave the inquiry free to investigate all remaining cases. NUH's annual public meeting will also include an update from Donna Ockenden, the Chair of the Independent Review into Maternity Services at NUH. "The Trust has made a commitment today to walk a new path, listening to families and acting upon what they are told. The journey can’t be completed overnight. It is a long journey and needs to happen one step at a time.
