Rhiannon Davies and Richard Stanton at the publication of the full Ockenden report into maternity services at Shrewsbury & Telford Hospital NHS Trust.

The petition calls for"robust action", and says Donna Ockenden, who led the SaTH inquiry, and is currently investigating care at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust, should be in charge of a national review.
