Sands - baby loss charity 💙🧡 Tommy's So v sorry to hear this! I had no indication. Read it in Health Service Journal Talking to colleagues across perinatal services the sense of disappointment is profound with everyone I’ve spoken 2 tonight expressing significant concern about safety & the wellbeing of children & mental health

Sands - baby loss charity 💙🧡 Tommy's Health Service Journal Unbelievable I’ve had to read this in Health Service Journal: I advocate for change, safety, inclusivity & family & staff voices to be heard pretty much 7 days a week & to read this inbetween family meetings in #Nottingham today is beyond shocking! How has this happened?! So disappointed

🚨 Revealed by Health Service Journal that ring fenced maternity safety funding has been slashed by from £95 million to £2 million. This feels really at odds with a health secretary who only a few months ago met with families who’ve experienced devastating harm and loss.

Thank you Michael Buchanan for highlighting this appalling decision bbc.co.uk/news/articles/… No acknowledgment of our letter from Wes Streeting's office. Just one more kick in the teeth...but bereaved families are easy to ignore - not like a bit more pain is going to affect us much.

I am so sorry for your all Rhiannon MBE & Richard MBE for what has simply added untold insult to your existing personal and collective, incalculable injury. Pleased that, as ever, Michael Buchanan has picked this lamentable story up and given it the exposure that it most certainly demands.

Dear Mr Streeting, I would like to introduce you to my son; his name is Adam and he is fourteen years old. Adam’s smile could light up a room, he charms every adult he meets because he demonstrates such joy when greeting adults he loves... lifeinholland.blog/2025/05/05/an-… Donna Ockenden FRSA, Hon DLitt Hon DSci

Life goes on alongside the pain. The fury. The wasted chances. Why ⁦Wes Streeting⁩ - why have you done this? ⁦Donna Ockenden FRSA, Hon DLitt Hon DSci⁩ may as will give up. You’ve destroyed the strength my daughter’s memory gave me to cling to. Your party … urgh. linkedin.com/posts/rhiannon…

Rhiannon MBE & Richard MBE Wes Streeting I’m so very sorry Richard & Rhiannon. I know how much it meant to you both & Kayleigh & Colin in memory of Kate & Pippa when all the Independent Maternity Review NUH Trust Immediate & Essential Actions were fully endorsed by Department of Health and Social Care in Mar 2022. We are not where we could / should be. I will not give up

.Wes Streeting ignoring Kay Griffiths MBE, Colin, Rich & me again. You probs don’t care - but need to know if you have any interest in improving maternity services in Wales England Scotland Northern Ireland. Change of gov - no change in treatment of those who can inform learning.

Just imagine if there was a 4 nation review, led by Donna, centred on learning, focused on families: the outcome of which = fundamental change for our children’s future…change.org/p/national-mat… yes it will take time & cost money. Isn’t the prevention of maternity trauma worth it?

£126 per second paid out to cover the cost of harm in UK Maternity care. Staggering. Each case a damaged / destroyed life. Each case a damaged or destroyed future. Each case a damaged or destroyed partnership. 😕🥺
