We are appalled by this fait accompli.
The Board meeting, where this is to be discussed, (and passed?) doesn't actually meet until Thursday!)
This 'engagement' has no possibility of changing the decision to close the 3 rural units indefinitely.

The @sathNHS Board response to the worst maternity scandal in NHS history seems to involve a lot of box ticking – but no attempt to challenge the rotten (& lethal) culture of top-down arrogance, of not learning & not listening.
They need to do MUCH better than this.

A powerful piece here on Shropshire’s maternity scandal. Author Rhiannon Davies is the mother of Kate Stanton Davies, who died avoidably at just six hours old.
Sorry, @sathnhs. Ticking boxes isn’t good enough. We need honesty, accountability & change.

Part 3 The emerging findings report will include ‘Essential and Immediate Actions’ which we feel are necessary to ensure safe practice in maternity services at SaTH and will make a difference to the safe provision of maternity services elsewhere.

Part 2 This will be an emerging findings report and will include ‘Essential and Immediate Actions’, as a result of our review of a selection of 250 cases of concern, which include the original 23 cases which initiated this independent maternity review. Part 3 to follow

.@lucyallan We’ve been asking the same question for nearly 11yrs Lucy ... to the coroner, @sathNHS 4 x CEOs & 3 x Chairman, CQC, NHSI & NHSE, LSA, NMC, GMC, Shrop CCG, all Shrop sitting MPs, RCOG, @Jeremy_Hunt, HSE, CPS ... over 1000 letters, over 100 meetings & media interviews.

Members of @sathNHS Board who supported Wright & signed off Herrings windfall are still there today - their denial of reality is absolute. @lucyallan raised concerns in HoC last night. We need an investigation into who knew what when. 900+ cases, what will it take? #publicinquiry

Deeply shocking to hear that the Ockenden review into Shrewsbury and Telford NHS Trust now looking at 900 cases meaning avoidable deaths may be on the scale of Mid Staffs. We now need to conclude it speedily and ask fundamental questions about maternity safety

Today I am making a public appeal to any families who may have concerns about the maternity care they received at Shrewsbury and Telford Hospitals NHS Trust to get in touch with my review team. Please watch my film.

800 cases in Ockenden Review.
Today @sathNHS denial of reality is near total.
Ben Reid Chair defends handling of @RCObsGyn report: "it’s a sad story. It happened ..." He suggests Board not fully informed ... as maternity managers tried to “soften the report”. #toxiccoverup

Matt Hancock: “I want families to know that we will do what needs to be done to ensure that this never happens again.” Rhiannon and I have been saying this for 10yrs & 6mths. We’ll hold you to your word Mr. Hancock. Thank you. independent.co.uk/news/healt…
