Shrewsbury and Telford Hospitals Trust was told to undertake more than 200 tasks after Donna Ockenden's expert review in March. The report found there were more than 200 deaths of babies and mothers that were avoidable, as well as 106 cases involving cerebral palsy and brain damage where, with better care, there would likely have been a better outcome. Most cases were between 2000 and 2019.
The trust was ordered to improve its care, with a comprehensive list of actions including improvements to managing safety incidents, bereavement care and listening to mothers. Progress will be discussed at Shropshire Council Health Overview and Scrutiny Committee meeting tomorrow.
