Inquiry into deaths at scandal-hit maternity unit is widened to investigate more than 250 families

Inquiry into deaths at scandal-hit maternity unit is widened to investigate more than 250 families More than 250 families have now raised concerns about an NHS trust at the centre of a maternity scandal.

Their cases are being investigated by an independent review team set up to look at services at the Shrewsbury and Telford Hospitals Trust, it was revealed last night.

Many families allege that babies died or were left with lifelong brain injuries as a result of poor care at the Shropshire trust.

The independent review was launched by former health secretary Jeremy Hunt in April 2017 when it was looking into 23 cases. But that number has increased ten-fold in what could be one of the NHS’s worst maternity care scandals. The Daily Mail
