Shrewsbury and Telford hospitals did not listen to complaints of parents, Donna Ockenden tells MPs
Mothers and fathers caught up in the worst maternity scandal in the history of NHS have a “huge amount of guilt” because they were not able to get the hospitals involved to listen to their complaints, MPs have been told.
Donna Ockenden, the midwifery expert leading a review into deaths and brain damage at the Shrewsbury and Telford hospitals (SaTH) told the health select committee that the trust’s maternity services had a “focus on normal birth at pretty much any cost”, an approach which had tragic consequences.
