Many families have not felt able to raise concerns
NHS England has written to grieving parents at the centre of the Ockenden maternity review - which is expected to uncover the largest maternity scandal in NHS history. The letter says the inquiry led by Donna Ockenden, the midwifery expert, will be able to examine all cases of concern over the past decade.
The dramatic development comes as The Times reports NHS England has bowed to demands by families, which will mostly investigate incidents between 2012 and last year. NHS England wrote to the families of the Nottingham/NUH Maternity Review Family Group in two-page letter dated yesterday . Families are expected to give their reaction to the news as the inquiry approaches its first anniversary on September 1. Donna Ockenden previously said had heard harrowing stories after dozens of families got in touch.
An internal investigation found no fault by NUH but an independent external review found 13 significant individual failings in Harriet’s care, with the Trust admitting negligence in 2018 and the couple settling a claim out of court, according to PA. Ms Ockenden uncovered 200 avoidable baby deaths at Shrewsbury and Telford NHS Trust last year. Nottingham's inquiry is expected to be far greater after the review was launched after more than 100 families with experiences of maternity failings wrote to former Health Secretary Sajid Javid demanding Ms Ockenden be appointed.
In January a district judge slapped a £800,000 fine on Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust after the Trust pleaded guilty to failing to provide safe care and treatment to new mum Sarah Andrews and her cherished first-born baby daughter, Wynter Andrews, who died after just 23 minutes of life.
