- England to get powerful maternity commissioner after ‘shocking’ failings
England will appoint a powerful maternity commissioner to address urgent reforms in childbirth and neonatal care following a review that found 'shocking' failings. The move aims to improve transparency, staffing in maternity triage services, and address systemic racism and discrimination in the NHS system.
- 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.
