Oxford University Hospital in national investigation into maternity failures
14 hospital trusts will be examined.
Oxford University Hospital is one of 14 hospital trusts which is to be examined in a national investigation into "failures" in NHS maternity and neonatal services.
It follows various independent reviews across multiple trusts which've found issues including women's voices being ignored, safety concerns overlooked and poor leadership which has created toxic cultures.
The Health Secretary's hoping the investigation will drive improvements.
Health bodies called for support and transparency, saying there may be real anxiety among women, families and staff at the 14 selected trusts which are:
- Barking, Havering and Redbridge University Hospitals NHS Trust
- Blackpool Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
- Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust
- East Kent Hospitals NHS Trust
- Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Trust
- Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust
- Oxford University Hospital
- Sandwell and West Birmingham Hospitals NHS Trust
- Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust
- The Queen Elizabeth Hospital, King's Lynn
- University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust
- University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust
- University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust
- Yeovil District Hospital NHS Foundation Trust / Somerset NHS Foundation Trust
