Answered by Karin Smyth
The Secretary of State for Health and Social Care has held a series of meetings with harmed and bereaved families from across the country to hear about their experiences of maternity care and the wider healthcare system, most recently meeting with families failed by maternity care at Leeds Teaching Hospital Trust. He has also twice visited Nottingham to meet with families involved in the ongoing independent review of maternity services at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust.
The Hon. Member and other local constituency MPs were invited to a meeting. However, the Hon. Member was unable to attend.
The Secretary of State has committed to ensuring the voices of women and families are at the heart of improving standards.
