More than 175 members of staff have come forward for the review investigating maternity failings at Nottingham's hospitals. Donna Ockenden, who is chairing the inquiry, said the review team were "so pleased" with the response but it only included a fraction of those working around maternity departments.
The expert midwife, who chaired a similar inquiry that uncovered failings leading to 201 baby deaths in Shrewsbury and Telford, launched the review into Nottingham University Hospitals (NUH) on September 1. Ms Ockenden issued an appeal for staff - past and present - on October 13 to contact the review as part of Staff Voices initiative.
She said workers were "crucially important" to the review. More than 100 staff have come forward since, adding to the 700-plus families who have reached out. "We are so please with this response," Ms Ockenden said.
