@ShaunLintern @LucyGoBag @bumblebeenush We need accountability @ShaunLintern
@MichelleWelshMP @KenZeroHarm @OckReview @MichelleWelshMP what about a plan to deliver justice for families who have equally suffered to maternity failures, deep rooted toxic NHS culture all round the country?
Tomorrow, the Independent Maternity Review of Nottingham will be published. Whatever its findings reveal, it must reignite a wider conversation about accountability for partners who suffer psychological harm as a result of avoidable and mismanaged maternity care. Pregnancy, birth and maternity care are not experiences endured by mothers alone. They are uniquely shared experiences. Despite clear NHS guidance promoting the involvement of partners throughout the pregnancy and maternity journey, since January 2024 the law continues to provide little recognition or accountability when partners suffer psychological injury. In most cases, doctors owe a duty of care only to the patient, leaving many fathers and partners who experience profound psychological trauma as a consequence of maternity failings in legal limbo—effectively erased as victims of that harm. NHS guidance sets clear expectations for trusts to adopt family-centred care and to recognise fathers and partners as active participants in maternity care, not merely visitors or observers. Yet when things go wrong, those same partners often find themselves excluded from both support and legal remedy. Whatever the review concludes, it should prompt serious consideration of whether the current framework adequately recognises the impact of maternity failings on partners and whether greater accountability is needed for the psychological harm they can suffer. @jamesmurray_ldn @MichelleWelshMP @AlexJJNorris @steveyemm @MichaelPayneUK @NadiaWhittomeMP @LilianGreenwood @adamthompson111 @JOCampbellMP @jameswnaish @AndyMacNaeMP @Andyburn @NHSResolution @DOckendenLtd @OckReview
This is why there needs to be a public inquiry @jamesmurray_ldn they have been allowed to leave take up roles in other trusts to repeat the same mistakes with zero accountability. The regulators are not dealing with these toxic managers it will only get worse not better unless these people are made to be accountable #pi #publicinquiry #gmc #cqc #nmc #notfitforpurpose #nottingham #wynterandrews #ockenden
Its thought more than half the 60 former directors and senior managers from @nottmhospitals who were asked to give evidence to Ockenden refused to do so 👀
I must confess to being a bit emotional this morning at the news of a knighthood for Kevin Sinfield. I’ve always called him ‘Sir Kev’ and it’s hard to think of a man more deserving. He showed us all what it is to be a friend. What it means to step up when people need you and he did it all for his mate ❤️ After he carried Rob across the line in the Leeds marathon someone sent me this poem anonymously and I kept it on my phone. They called it ‘Arise Sir Kev’… When shadows gathered, and hearts would break Kev knew it was time to take… One step, another, through wind and rain, Carrying hope, despite the pain. He never stopped, mile after mile, Driven by loyalty, strength… a smile. For Rob, his friend, he aim was true Showing us all, what friendship can do. Not measured in trophies, applause, or fame… But turning up, again and again. And in every mile he chose to run, He showed us how friendship is truly done.
@LOZM2406 Sorry to hear pal, hope your doing ok 👍
@BoWynStorm @jamesmurray_ldn @UHMBT The need for a public enquiry is now, it should have happened years ago. I truly hope the Nottingham inquiry helps escalate change and accountability. My thoughts to all the families, like we, that have suffered ❤️ @MidwivesRCM @NHSEngland
@BoWynStorm @jamesmurray_ldn @UHMBT Ida’s case and many others around the country are examples of this rotten maternity culture. It is inexcusable that there is still no accountability in the system and why tragedies continue Shame on the government, NHS leaders, regulators for basically not doing your job properly
BBC PANORAMA AIRED THE NHS MATERNITY SCANDAL @BBCPanorama aired on 1 June 2026. The documentary covers Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust, nearly 2,500 families, stillbirths, neonatal deaths, babies left with permanent brain injuries, cases stretching back to 2012. The trust has been rated inadequate since 2020. Nottinghamshire Police have opened a corporate manslaughter investigation, Operation Perth. Donna Ockenden's review, the largest maternity inquiry in NHS history, has already handed 200 files to police. The final report lands 24 June 2026. The trust chief executive apologised before the cameras even turned on. Families have been collecting apologies for over a decade. None of this is about understaffing. None of it is about funding. None of it is about missing equipment. Every NHS Trust that leads with those three excuses when maternity scandals surface is deflecting. The real problem is cultural. A system that believes its own moral authority supersedes accountability to the people inside it. Panorama named it. Police are investigating it. Donna Ockenden (@DOckendenLtd) is documenting it for the third time across different NHS trusts. Allister Frost (Linkedin), a startup mentor and former Microsoft executive who runs NHSlives com, says he experienced this nearly 12 years ago. He observed, recorded, and documented what he calls a deliberate plan by NHS midwives to discredit him and his partner through falsified entries in his daughter's medical records, starting a month before her birth. He says his partner and daughter survived. Many did not. No inquiry, he says, will fix a culture that has to be rebuilt from the ground up. @BBCPanorama (aired 1 June 2026) @BBCNews @Channel4News (joint 2020 investigation with The Independent) @Independent
The @MatNeoInv is now actively contributing to harm. Affected families are learning major changes to publication timing and trust-level reporting from journalists, not from the investigation itself. Any pretence of “families first” is disappearing fast.
This won’t surprise many who’ve had to deal with @nmcnews. But it’s still a fundamental regulatory failure. Any maternity ‘review’ excluding regulators is inadequate. A PI encompassing the whole maternity ecosystem is needed. theguardian.com/society/2026/m…
Everytime the @MatNeoInv was challenged, the counter was that it would be followed by the Taskforce in which @wesstreeting was personally invested. The weakness of the review is now unjustifiable, and a Public Inquiry is the only answer. Thoughts going to Notts Families today.
Streeting's resignation is further evidence that a statutory public inquiry is the ONLY way forward for maternity safety. The lives of mothers and babies cannot be sacrificed to this kind of political instability. We need a process that sits above politics - and that's a PI.
This is what I find so upsetting about @wesstreeting's resignation today. He deliberately set up maternity improvement to be centred on him (for accountability), ignored warnings that this made change dependent on him, and rejected independent alternatives. And now he's gone.

Whoever it is will need to engage with those people who’ve fought for so long to improve maternity services and reassure them that the government remains committed to the cause.
A new health secretary will now have to pick up and respond to a large body of work, from Amos to Nottingham, Leeds to Sussex. The fear many families have is that the new person won’t be as engaged as Streeting was, and that the avoidable harm will continue. (3/4)
Most families believed he cared, and wanted to improve the system, even though they didn’t all agree with his decisions or the time he sometimes took to make them. (2/4)
I’m hearing a lot of concerns about what Wes Streeting’s resignation means for the various maternity reviews that have been announced. Streeting spent a considerable amount of time listening to harmed and bereaved families, sometimes against the wishes of his officials. (1/4)
