Two arrested over Nottingham hospital mortuary practices bailed

Two men arrested by police investigating maternity failings in Nottingham have been released on bail.

Nottinghamshire Police said the men were arrested on Monday in connection with operating practices in the city’s mortuary service.

Nottingham University Hospitals (NUH) NHS Trust operates mortuary services at the Queen’s Medical Centre and Nottingham City Hospital under a licence provided by the Human Tissue Authority.

On Tuesday the force confirmed the men, 55 and 59, have since been bailed “with strict conditions”.

The arrests were made as part of the force’s investigation into deaths and serious injuries related to NUH’s maternity care – called Operation Perth, which began in 2023 following failings that led to hundreds of babies dying or being injured.

The investigation has run alongside the largest maternity inquiry in the history of the NHS, led by independent senior midwife Donna Ockenden.

Ockenden’s review, which involves about 2,500 cases, began in September 2022 – and is set to be published on Wednesday.
