Families affected by what could be the NHS’s biggest maternity scandal wept as the senior midwife at the head of a major inquiry into what happened promised to “do all I can” to make sure no one else suffers the same harm.
Midwifery expert Donna Ockenden, who is leading a review into maternity care failings at the Nottingham University Hospitals (NUH) NHS Trust, said at a public meeting on Monday that around 1,700 family cases will be examined as part of the complex inquiry.
