NHS England has written to grieving parents at the centre of the Ockenden maternity review - which is expected to uncover the largest maternity scandal in NHS history. The letter says the inquiry led by Donna Ockenden, the midwifery expert, will be able to examine all cases of concern over the past decade.
With more than 1,700 families involved, five of those are expected to attend NUH's public meeting on Monday, July 10, where the Chair of Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust will 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 the meeting, and he will also commit to working collaboratively to plan for a meaningful apology on behalf of the board.
