Transparency, standards and a new commissioner – but does the maternity review go far enough?
The Amos review recommends government actions to improve maternity and neonatal care in England but is criticized for lacking focus on systemic racism and traumatic births. England will establish a maternity commissioner following 'shocking' service failures, with the review acknowledging the system is no longer fit for purpose, echoing previous reports like Donna Ockenden’s on the Nottingham NHS trust.
