Yesterday, senior leaders across the NHS met to discuss urgent action for maternity and neonatal services in England.    In response to Baroness Amos’ national investigation and Donna Ockenden’s review into maternity services at Nottingham University Hospitals, we have created a 10 Point Plan that we are focused on delivering now.     This must be a turning point for the NHS.    We will respond and move forward together with urgency to deliver lasting change for women, babies and families, rebuilding trust and confidence in the care we provide.     Read more in Sir Jim Mackey’s letter sent to senior NHS leaders. ➡️ https://lnkd.in/e5jSzb33  Text in the post's images reads: Immediate actions for all maternity and neonatal services. 1.
