NHS delays ‘independent’ maternity report until after election An independent report into maternity safety in the NHS has been blocked from publication by NHS England until after the general election, The Independent has learnt.
Doctors and midwives have criticised the national body for preventing the report from being widely shared which they said could delay improvements and learning.
It comes as The Independent revealed a leaked report earlier this week exposing the largest maternity scandal in the NHS’s history at the Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital Trust where dozens of babies and three mothers died.
