Dozens of new mums did not get the aftercare they needed at Pinderfields Hospital, a review finds.
By David McKenna & Corinne WheatleyDozens of women who suffered perineal tears during childbirth at a Wakefield maternity unit did not get appropriate aftercare, a review has found.
It identified that a total of 52 women who had suffered perineal tears in childbirth at Pinderfields had not been referred for post-natal urogynaecological and physiotherapy follow-up.Mrs Atkinson, who gave birth to her son Harrison in November 2021, said: "Like most mums, I was so looking forward to bringing Harrison home and to being able to spend my maternity leave bonding, introducing him to the world, and to family and friends.
Mrs Atkinson said she received a letter from the trust in January notifying her there had been failings in her care. "In fact, the report sent to us by the Trust reveals at least 15% of patients who sustained tears between 2020 and 2022 did not have a referral which is standard practice for patients who have sustained third and fourth degree tears following delivery. That's 52 women in total."
