Nottingham families in largest NHS maternity review tell stories

The findings of an inquiry into the largest maternity scandal in NHS history have finally been made public.

The numbers are as striking as they are horrific – about 2,500 families involved and the stark figure of 155 babies who may have survived with better care, in addition to 105 who suffered serious injury due to failings.

A total of 520 cases of mothers and babies were graded as two or three for harm, with grade two representing “significant concerns” and grade three “major concerns” over care.

Grade two represents sub-optimal care in which different management might have made a difference to the outcome, while grade three is where different management would reasonably be expected to have made a difference.

Nottingham University Hospitals (NUH) NHS Trust has apologised to all those affected and said it was committed to making improvements.

But behind the statistics are the faces and stories of the families who have been changed forever.
