BREAKING: NHS quality watchdog admits it is failing to keep patients safe and is losing confidence of government and ministers. Great exclusive by Emily Townsend hsj.co.uk/policy-and-reg…

ITV News Central Nancy Cole 1/2 Thanks Nancy & team: I’m on holiday with Phoebe Ockenden but I can’t stress enough how impt it is that Government prioritises #safematernitycare Not enough has been done since I published the Shrewsbury Independent Maternity Review NUH Trust in 2022. My estimate? We are less than half way there with £

theguardian.com/politics/artic… OMG a Guardian article that will keep many an NHS Trust CEO and senior manager awake at night....

I’ve signed this: So very important: Please sign too!

Pity they had to be reminded by Donna Ockenden FRSA, Hon DLitt Hon DSci to make this appolgy to all the families involved 2 years after her report! facebook.com/share/p/9wWPGa…

What damning statistics: 65% of units are not safe for women to give birth in, 47% of trusts are rated as requiring improvement on safety and another 18% are rated as inadequate #maternitycare #patientsafety theguardian.com/society/2024/s…

My son is running a half marathon in Shrewsbury tomorrow. His dad's company have said they will match the £500 he hopes to raise if he reaches his goal. Please help share and empty his dad's wallett justgiving.com/page/michael-l…

And he's off start was delayed over 15 mins still time to donate to this great cause Birmingham Children’s Hospital saved his life 25 years ago from Pulmonary Blastoma!!justgiving.com/page/michael-l…

1/3 Absolutely honoured+++ to have had the HUGE privilege to share my life story to music on BBC Radio 4 Desert Island Discs. I was so surprised to be asked to be a part of this programme, that I had to triple check that they had asked the right Donna Ockenden!!!

Incredible news 4 the amazing Dr. Maxwell Mclean - will this be catalyst 4 a cascade of positive change for whistleblowers? Victoria Macdonald & Michael Buchanan can surely support now with (sadly) necessary media scrutiny. End the revolving doors of toxic leaders and enable whistleblowers NOW.

Betrayed by ⁦⁦Wes Streeting⁩: every single ⁦SaTH⁩ family destroyed by the toxic and dysfunctional maternity service whose loses ensured this investment in improvement have been spat on by ⁦Department of Health and Social Care⁩ as has ⁦Donna Ockenden FRSA, Hon DLitt Hon DSci⁩ linkedin.com/posts/rhiannon…

Wes Streeting Department of Health and Social Care Donna Ockenden FRSA, Hon DLitt Hon DSci Today's bitter betrayal is one in a long line for Kate, for Pippa and for ALL the SaTH maternity families. Here we spell it out and detail the required action. Have cc'd this to Sir Jeremy Hunt MP and Donna Ockenden FRSA, Hon DLitt Hon DSci - but it's for Wes Streeting to respond. His silence is deafening.

Thank you Michael Buchanan for highlighting this appalling decision bbc.co.uk/news/articles/… No acknowledgment of our letter from Wes Streeting's office. Just one more kick in the teeth...but bereaved families are easy to ignore - not like a bit more pain is going to affect us much.
