Scandal-hit NHS Trust faces calls for wider investigation into deaths on maternity unit A scandal-hit trust is facing calls for a wider probe into dozens of deaths at a hospital's maternity unit, it was reported last night.
The Government is already investigating Shrewsbury and Telford Hospitals Trust after former Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt ordered an independent inquiry in 2017 into seven deaths at the unit.
A failure to properly monitor the baby's heart rate was a contributory factor in five of the deaths
The announcement prompted a further 16 cases to come forward, and Senior midwife Donna Ockenden was appointed to review all 23 cases of alleged poor care last year. The Daily Telegraph
