The Care Quality Commission says the troubled service has improved - but more needs to be done.
The regulator has judged both hospital maternity units, and the trust's overall maternity service, as requiring improvement but said it identified sufficient recent improvement to lift their long-standing inadequate rating.
CQC Midlands deputy director of operations Greg Rielly said: "At both maternity services, we saw an improvement in the level of care being provided to people and their babies since we last rated both services as inadequate. Inspectors raised safety concerns about how medicines were managed and said not all equipment was cleaned between uses.The trust was also "not always complying with its statutory responsibilities for duty of candour", inspectors said.The watchdog also assessed the NUH's leadership, previously rated inadequate, which it said now "requires improvement".
The trust has welcomed it as an endorsement of its improvement plan and evidence that change is possible and being delivered. The CQC report has some positives for front-line staff, who are rated good for caring. Retaining and recruiting such staff during a major review and police investigation is just one of many challenges the trust faces.
The ultimate test for the trust is to continue to improve safety and culture at a time of unprecedented scrutiny.
