“We cannot describe the immense sense of relief that we feel at the news that Donna Ockenden has been appointed to conduct the review into maternity services in Nottingham.
We’d like to thank the Rt. Hon Sajid Javid for finally listening to us after many years of campaigning by the families affected by failures of care.
Donna Ockenden’s appointment is a significant step towards restoring confidence in Nottingham maternity services. We are confident that she will conduct a robust review to ensure the scale of failings at NUH are recognised and essential improvements are made.
Improvements that will protect future babies and mothers from death and harm.
Improvements that will ensure women are properly listened to.
Improvements that will guarantee staff have the right qualifications, training, and skills.
Improvements that will create a new culture of transparency, openness, and willingness to learn from mistakes.
This signals the start of the next stage in the journey where families can now stop fighting and instead dedicate their strength, knowledge, and experiences to uncover the truth and improve maternity service for the people of Nottingham.”
