Mother Rhiannon Davies said they hope to drive change in maternity care across the country
Campaigners have launched a petition calling on the government to hold a national inquiry into maternity services.
Rhiannon Davies and Richard Stanton and Kayleigh and Colin Griffiths spearheaded the inquiry into Shrewsbury and Telford NHS Trust . In their petition, published on Change.org, the group said they want the inquiry because, without it, the "oft repeated national failings will continue to cause avoidable harm and death and devastate families".
Mrs Davies said seeing reports of concerns about care across the country, made them feel the need for a national inquiry, and are calling on the Department of Health to commission it."We have tried looking regionally...let's peel back every single layer nationally to get a full picture of where learning needs to happen."
