Donna Ockenden is meeting families affected by the maternity crisis in Nottingham
Mrs Hawkins said she had started having contractions after her due date and had made 13 contacts with the hospital but was repeatedly told she was not in labour.
She said she hoped the latest review, by NHS England, would make families finally feel listened to and believed.Figures obtained by the BBC have found that, between 2005/6 and 2020/21, there were a total of 207 claims against the hospital's maternity services, including 36 for cerebral palsy, 26 for stillbirths and 24 for brain damage.Ms Ockenden said she expected the review would take about 18 months and that it would officially start in September.
"Following on from the meetings with families [and] listening to their views on how the review should progress, what we will be using the summer months for is putting the building blocks in place," she said."Families can feel assured they will be involved in the crafting of these terms of reference," she said.
