The head of the review into the failings of maternity services at Nottingham's hospitals has called on staff to make a ‘crucial’ contribution. Donna Ockenden, who is chairing the inquiry after dozens of baby deaths at Queen's Medical Centre and City Hospital, said a mixture of more than 70 former and current workers had made contact.
This is in addition to 700 families, who she said the review team were in the process of responding to individually. Ms Ockenden said staff were of “crucial importance” to the review.
“Staff on the ground often see when things are going well and when things are not going well,” she told Nottinghamshire Live. “They are of crucial importance to our review. What we would say to staff is: please come forward, you can be absolutely sure that any correspondence comes through to our secure server, it isn’t shared by the NHS and you can talk to us in confidence.”
