Another family at University Hospitals Sussex that was given incorrect care via telephone triage, resulting in the death beautiful Esme just a month after Abigail 💔

I'm really hoping people who comment on maternity issues will pay attention to this part of my article in particular - I was shocked to see how many people praised Royal Surrey maternity based only on what CQC said. Does this look 'outstanding' to you???

Another horrific and preventable baby death at University Hospitals Sussex - Esme died after her mum repeatedly called for help because of stabbing pains and bleeding. Mum Chloe was told to 'live her life' and 'go to Waitrose' when she was suffering with a deadly placental abruption.

This is not free, this is paid for by us, the tax payers. As such we have a right to know that the ⁦NCT⁩ are not still peddling dangerous myths which set women up for failure and encourage them to say no to life saving interventions.

Derby & Burton: 'We are fully supporting the coroner’s enquiries for Ethan’s inquest to ensure his family have full answers to their questions & concerns'
Nthg prevents a Trust from giving full answers to families straightaway. Trusts create the obfuscation themselves. University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS FT

Reading his reply made my blood pressure sky rocket!

The hardest pill to swallow is, if it was his child that had died as a result of the system, it would be the first thing he would call for.

Issues in Portsmouth are of criminal nature as multiple legal obligations have been abandoned in order to cover up clinical negligence

This response from Rishi Sunak today shows he doesn't understand the breadth and scale of the crisis in maternity services across the country. So let's make it clear: maternity care is failing. Mums and babies are dying because of substandard care. We need a #MaternityInquiry

Ongoing investigation, potentially 1800+ preventable bereaved/ harmed. Police investigation opened.

Kiss your kids goodnight and think of all those in Nottingham who have to kiss their kids gravestones.

Come and meet us and find out what’s really going on Rishi Sunak

NEW: I asked the Prime Minister today if he would commit to a public inquiry into maternity services.

It’s what many bereaved & harmed families have called for - in Nottingham and beyond

Here’s what he told me:

Donna Ockenden FRSA, Hon DLitt Jack Hawkins Sarah Milnes Nancy Cole Independent Maternity Review NUH Trust Support ME NMWN Zephyr's Excellent. The more exposure the better. Sadly, we are all too aware of the lengths Trust mgrs go to in making familes or patients think they are 'the only one' when harm occurs. Publicity like this will reach many more of those affected with better outcomes for the review!

Way too weak Prime Minister, you need to be on top of this. Maternity care needs to be examined thoroughly.
Why have we not learnt prom previous inquiries? Why haven’t all agreed recommendations from previous inquiries been enacted?
This is YOUR job to deal with, not ours!

Jack Hawkins Sarah Milnes Nancy Cole Independent Maternity Review NUH Trust 1/2🧵Thanks Jack & all: we have over 1800 families actively in the review: the 70+ letters sent this week are in addition to those. The Trust continues to ‘open its books’ & refer new cases, potential new families contact us several times a wk. Awareness of the review is v high

Jack Hawkins Sarah Milnes Nancy Cole Independent Maternity Review NUH Trust 2/2 🧵Jack is correct: our efforts as a review team working with community groups, faith groups, interpreters etc are added to ++ by the time given by affected families, local & regional media, the city council, local organisations inc Support ME NMWN Zephyr's

Group B Strep is the most common cause of neonatal infection, yet we don’t routinely screen for it.

1 baby needlessly dying a week to such an easily treatable infection.😔 Group B Strep Support are doing the most to change this and make screening mandatory.
