Cheshire said her thoughts were with Nottingham families, saying “their stories matter”.<\/p>\n
“I hope they will take care of themselves, and be gentle with themselves because this is a difficult time,” she said.<\/p>\n
But she felt strongly that a statutory public inquiry into maternity care across the country was now crucial.<\/p>\n
“I think we’re at the point where the level of harm is so catastrophic, we need something where evidence is required,” she added. “To make sure we actually get to the bottom of these issues and solve them.”<\/p>\n
The Department of Health has been approached for a response over the call for an inquiry.<\/p>\n
The chief executive of SaTH, Jo Williams, said they knew Wednesday’s report on Nottingham would “bring back painful memories” for families they “let down” in Shropshire.<\/p>\n
“We will reflect carefully on the report, ensuring that its findings and the voices within it guide us in the care we provide,” she added.<\/p>\n
“Listening to women and families, working together, and acting on feedback are essential to delivering safe and compassionate maternity services. <\/p>\n
We remain focused on ensuring lasting improvements in the care we provide, while making sure that the experiences highlighted through the Ockenden Review are never forgotten.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cheshire said her thoughts were with Nottingham families, saying “their stories matter”. “I hope they will take care…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":655876,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[59,57,58,50,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-655875","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-united-kingdom","tag-gb","tag-great-britain","tag-greatbritain","tag-news","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/655875","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=655875"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/655875\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/655876"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=655875"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=655875"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=655875"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
