Childbirth: Wrexham woman left with stoma and PTSD

In a statement apologising to Ms Stead, Carol Shillabeer, chief executive of Betsi Cadwaladr health board, said training for medical and midwifery staff had been improved.

She said: “We recognise that no amount of money can make up for the devastating impact that serious failures in care can have on patients and their families.

“Since this incident, we have adopted an all-Wales quality improvement initiative to ensure that women with obstetric anal sphincter injuries consistently receive safe and effective care.”

The Welsh government said it was sorry to hear about Ms Stead’s “devastating” experience.

It added: “Safety in maternity care is our key priority and we expect all health boards to implement evidence-based practice and to provide holistic care to women and families.”

It said it had also launched a programme in 2022 to improve the safety of maternal and neonatal care in Wales, and a quality statement was being developed to reflect its “determination” to improve these services.
