"Families "enduring everlasting grief" after losing babies due to NHS failings are being sidelined by a rapid review into maternity services, a campaign group has claimed. One woman, whose daughter died in 2022, described how victims are forced to "compress" their experiences into eight minutes, with some re-traumatised by having to choose the most important reasons for their babies' deaths."
"Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story."
A rapid review into NHS maternity services is being criticised for sidelining families who lost babies, the Maternity Safety Alliance says. Families enduring 'everlasting grief' are reportedly forced to compress their experiences into eight minutes, with some re-traumatised by choosing the most important reasons for their babies' deaths. The alliance has renewed calls for a statutory inquiry and urged the Government to abandon what it terms a 'performative approach'. The National Maternity and Neonatal Investigation (NMNI) contends that a rapid review can deliver improvements faster than a statutory inquiry. The NMNI review, led by Baroness Valerie Amos, will examine 12 NHS trusts and report in spring.
