National maternity investigation

The 14 hospital trusts to be looked at as part of a rapid, independent, national investigation into maternity and neonatal services have been named. Baroness Amos’ investigation will put families at the heart of the work and affected families were asked to provide input to the draft terms of reference of the investigation. The terms of reference have been developed to focus on understanding the experiences of affected women and families, identifying lessons learned and driving the improvements needed to ensure high quality and safe maternity and neonatal care across England.
