A report raises serious concerns about maternity services at one of England's largest hospital trusts.
Mothers and babies are being left at risk by failings at one of England's largest hospital trusts, a report says.
Inspectors found problems with cardiotocography - used to measure a baby's heart rate - including poor documentation which fell short of national guidelines.- the UK's biggest maternity scandal which saw more than 200 baby deaths.
The CQC said analysis of data from April to October 2021 showed a "total of 35 patient safety incidents had been raised due to lack of suitably trained/skilled staff". The CQC concluded: "We were not assured that leaders had the skills and abilities to run the service. We were concerned that leaders within the service were not effective in implementing meaningful changes that improved safety."Further concerns and the need for significant improvements were found across the wider trust, with its overall rating downgraded from "good" to "requires improvement".
