The report was ordered following the deaths of dozens of babies at the East Kent Hospitals University NHS Foundation Trust, with teams examining incidents between 2009 and 2020.
Tragically the independent inquiry into maternity at East Kent Hospitals University NHS Foundation Trust found of 202 cases reviewed, 97 should have had different outcomes and that 45 of the 65 baby deaths, or 69% of these cases, could have been saved.
