We need more families to come forward. Please feel free to DM me if you have any questions. It’s so so important that families are represented.
Replying to @ShaunLintern
There are at least 20 families who have now come forward to the @nottmhospitals maternity inquiry but the NHS has said any family with concerns should contact: [email protected] #maternitysafety

Pleased to be able to announce Labour is supporting our ask for a public inquiry. However, it comes in the same news that staffing levels are still very much behind what’s needed! So much more needs to be done to give confidence to prospective new recruits independent.co.uk/news/healt…
