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.

Following @wesstreeting maternity announcement on Monday, a full statement from some of the bereaved and harmed families in Leeds. @DOckendenLtd please help us.

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!?

Lots of excitement about this announcement from @wesstreeting today, but we must be clear about what this is and what it isn't. It isn't a public inquiry. It isn't a system wide analysis. It isn't a thorough investigation of, well, anything. 1/2 bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
Former health secretary who was in office when action should have been taken but wasn't cautions against a statutory public inquiry where he could be compelled to answer questions about his decisions.

Whilst people are entitled to dismiss the words of a lawyer on this issue, I could not agree more. The time has come for a public and transparent inquiry into maternity safety. This can only be achieved through a statutory inquiry whatever the flaws in that process

Why a public inquiry on maternity safety must be *statutory*: 1) The default is for evidence to be heard in public, providing transparency & accountability just by virtue of being open to scrutiny by all. Remember Paula Vennells answering questions in public at the PO inquiry?
Next week our daughter, Aliona, should be 5 and a half. Since she was born, my husband and I have been whistleblowing loudly and clearly and sharing our concerns and evidence with the CQC, every regulator, MP and authority possible. 1/ bbc.com/news/articles/…
"If Harriet stayed [with us], she would be nine now but the way I am her mother, is by doing this and I'm not going to give up until we get it” 💔 💓 I’m so proud of all the Nottingham families. We stand united. 💓

Yesterday I & a group of 14 parents from @Safe_Maternity met with @wesstreeting. We put our hearts & souls into it, incl hours of meetings & prep over 4 days. I believe we were heard and that Wes understood what is happening in the maternity system - the first SoS to do so.
As one of the many families harmed or bereaved by negligent or neglectful maternity care at Leeds, during Julian Hartley’s tenure, I simply do not have the words for this announcement today….. @Safe_Maternity @wesstreeting

So......CQC declared by @wesstreeting to be 'unfit for purpose.' This follows after HSIB were similarly found-out, rebranded with major leadership restructuring. Amid major ongoing concerns about both the GMC and NMC. Is it any wonder that the NHS is in such an astonishing mess?
