Asked by Helen MorganLiberal DemocratDepartment of Health and Social CareTabled Answered 4 November 2025UIN 83971

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether she plans to include Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust in the National maternity and neonatal investigation; and whether she plans to include bereaved families in Shropshire in the investigation.

Answered by Karin Smyth

The Chair of the Independent Maternity and Neonatal Investigation, Baroness Amos, has removed the Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust from the list of local National Health Service trust investigations for the Independent National Maternity and Neonatal Investigation following recent discussions with West Mercia Police about the details and schedule of their ongoing investigation.

The call for evidence will launch in November, and families from Shrewsbury and Telford have been encouraged to participate.
