The Chair of Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust is set to publicly commit to a new relationship with families who have been affected by the trust's maternity failings. This new relationship will focus on honesty and transparency.
Nick Carver will acknowledge more must be done to gain the trust of families and local communities during NUH’s Annual Public Meeting on Monday, July 10. He will also commit to working collaboratively to plan for a meaningful apology on behalf of the board.
Mr Carver said: “For too long we have failed to listen to women and families who have been affected by failings in our maternity services. This ‘brick wall’ has caused additional pain, and this must change.
