This from Wes Streeting Department of Health and Social Care in response to learning of 9 avoidably dead babies at UHSussex is a joke. 1. I'm nothing to do with Sands 2. All these babies were near-full term so certificates for babies <24 weeks not relevant here Good to know where we stand though!


As one of the many families harmed or bereaved by negligent or neglectful maternity care at Leeds, during Julian Hartley’s tenure, I simply do not have the words for this announcement today….. Maternity Safety Alliance Wes Streeting



Harmed families have been saying for a while that there is a problem with some of the law firms or lawyers who act for NHS Resolution. A statutory public inquiry would be able to look into what they are doing Wes Streeting Maternity Safety Alliance



Maternity Safety Alliance Leeds Teaching Hospitals I wonder how many families might not have needlessly had their lives also ruined if the CQC had actually listened to us and other families in Leeds nearly 5 years ago when we first presented everything to them.

For a trust which says their baby deaths are comparable to those of similar levels, these numbers make absolutely 0 sense. Unless they have chosen to lie to us, the public and media as recently as last month Leeds Teaching Hospitals


New MBRRACE data shows SWB NHS Trust perinatal mortality rates are again significantly worse than comparable Trusts yet there is no local media coverage, or any questions asked.

Also little/no coverage that SWB NHS Trust maternity were served a Section 29A warning notice requiring significant improvement by Care Quality Commission in 2024 Maternity Safety Alliance Joanne Writtle BBC Midlands ITV News Central #maternityscandal #stillbirth

Health Secretary "considering a request carefully" for an inquiry into Leeds maternity services Wes Streeting Maternity Safety Alliance hellorayo.co.uk/greatest-hits/…

Wes Streeting has said maternity safety keeps him up at night but to date has done nothing to rectify the awful condition of maternity service across England. This is why we need a public inquiry, it’s not local problems, it is across the country /1
