A review into failings at the maternity units of the Queen's Medical Centre and Nottingham City Hospital will look at cases as far back as 2012. The inquiry, chaired by leading midwife Donna Ockenden, published its terms of reference on Tuesday, September 13.
Whilst its scope goes back 10 years, the review will also consider 'exceptional' cases which date back as far as 2006. The inquiry, which was launched on September 1, will look at clinical incidents where mothers and/or babies have suffered severe harm or death.
It will highlight any failures at Nottingham University Hospitals (NUH) relating to aspects such as clinical care, governance and incident reporting and leadership and organisational culture. The review, which has already been contacted by "dozens and dozens" of families, will look at cases in five different categories.
