💨 Abstract

Health Secretary Wes Streeting has launched a rapid national investigation into NHS maternity care after several families experienced baby loss. The inquiry aims to address systemic issues spanning over 15 years, focusing on leadership failures, safety concerns, and the failure to listen to women, especially from black, Asian, and deprived backgrounds. The investigation will be split into two parts, with the first assessing 10 concerning maternity and neonatal units, and the second part focusing on system-wide improvements.
