The concerns of families affected by maternity failures in Nottingham should have been addressed sooner, midwifery expert Donna Ockenden said as a bereaved couple revealed documents showing they shared fears of a cover-up seven years ago.
Ms Ockenden, who is leading the largest review into failings in maternity care in NHS history at the Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust (NUHT), which will involve around 1,800 families and look at the deaths of several babies and the harming of babies and mothers at its three sites in the city, was speaking on Radio 4’s Today programme on Friday.
