Nottingham maternity review hope as Donna Ockenden meets families for first time
Nottingham families affected by maternity failings say they have been given hope after meeting the midwife in charge of a new review. Donna Ockenden met with parents, some of whom had babies who died or suffered serious injuries, in the city on Monday, July 11.
"She listened, she was interested in what we had to say, everything's pointing towards a review that will be good for Nottingham." After the meeting, Ms Ockenden said she was very pleased to have met the families.She said she would establish the review's terms of reference - or "building blocks" - before it begins in September.
"In Nottingham, if you think you've had bad care then maybe get yourself ready and talk to family and friends about if you're going to come forward," he encouraged. "And hopefully the answer is yes because the more people who come forward, the more information and the better the review will be."
