18 months to release a report on rising baby deaths. That’s not accountability - that’s avoidance. @bbcmtd, @JoanneWrittleTV, @ShaunLintern, @vsmacdonald #maternityinquirynow #maternitysafety #stillbirth #stillbirthawareness
The post below marks a quarter of a year since the announcement of the rapid review into maternity services. Statistically, in that time there have been 200 preventable baby deaths in maternity and neonatal settings in the UK.

On this day (13th September) 2 years ago one of the babies who died a preventable death was my daughter Smokey. She was a beautiful very cute otherwise healthy baby, she was just born dead, deprived of oxygen. She was left to die during birth by catastrophic systemic NHS failings

“The so-called “rapid national investigation” of maternity units potentially causing most harm, is now neither rapid – the full results aren’t now expected until spring 2026, rather than Christmas – nor a review of the worst-performing hospital trusts.” newstatesman.com/politics/uk-po…
@DHSCgovuk This is the only way we have left to parent our dead children, and we will never stop. I know that some of the things I and others say can be difficult to hear - the truth often is. But we do it because we are desperate to stop other families suffering as we do.
After the review there will still be legal advice that states DO NOT ADMIT LIABILITY. How can you possibly allow that to stand @wesstreeting? How can this review be for for purpose against your own words which once filled me with such hope.
Families whose babies died because of failings in maternity care at hospitals in Barnsley, Birmingham, Bradford, Dartford, Derby, Dorset, Hampshire, Leeds, Nottingham, Oxford and Sussex have been deeply critical of this 'rapid review'. We have been betrayed by @wesstreeting.

This is the degree of cover up faced by families whose babies were killed by NHS negligence. Everyone needs to get real about the nature of what is going on - it's not all well-intentioned people falling short. It's deliberately malicious and dangerous.

Some examples of poor care & harm caused by maternity services at UHSussex since 2019. Delays in recognising the cause of illness in a young mum "made a material contribution to her death" - bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…
Protocols aren’t protection if no one follows them. Guidance isn’t safe if it’s ignored or misapplied. A policy on paper means nothing without action. Babies don’t die from lack of guidelines. They die from lack of care. #MaternitySafety #PatientSafety @DHSCgovuk @SandsCharity
@MichelleWelshMP 2017-2019 House of Commons Committee of Public Accounts Summary: “There seems to be a prevailing attitude of defensiveness in the NHS when things go wrong, and a reluctance to admit mistakes, which is likely to be leading to more clinical negligence claims.” Still happening!
Thank you @Channel4News for having me back. Talking about health inequalities and baby loss makes people uncomfortable but that silence is why it keeps happening. We need a full, judge-led statutory inquiry. Nothing less will do. For Grace. For every family failed 🤍
The issue is the bad apples have a contagious fungus so when they come in contact with other apples the toxic fungus (culture) spreads.

We have three children Aubrey, Tallulah, Indigo One died One rushed to SCBU One went to NICU All were small All gave warning signs The system didn’t learn from the first It barely coped with the second We fought for the third Start listening. Start changing #Lossandlove #toomany
The PMRT is not fit for purpose. Allowing an institution to self report on circumstances where the outcome is a death is deeply flawed, especially when families cannot attend. Injustices will continue as long as this is all that some families are allowed.

A real shame to see Woman's Hour talking about maternity without a parent voice. I was booked for this morning then told I'm not needed. That's fine, doesn't have to be me. But you're putting @MidwivesRCM on instead!?
