Nottinghamshire Police say they are working closely with the maternity review of Nottingham's hospitals due to the possibility of criminal investigations. The experiences of around 1,700 families dating back several years are being looked at as part of the independent review into the care of mothers and babies at the Queen’s Medical Centre and Nottingham City Hospital - meaning it is set to become the largest maternity in NHS history.
The independent review is being led by experienced midwife and healthcare expert Donna Ockenden. On Monday (July 10) more than 100 people attended an annual public meeting held by Nottingham University Hospitals (NUH) Trust. Amongst those invited to the meeting was Chief Constable Kate Meynell.
“I was invited to attend Monday’s NUH annual meeting alongside other stakeholders in which families and communities were addressed by Nottingham University Hospital Chair Nick Carver about the maternity failings at the trust," she said in a statement.
