Why is the UK mired in a maternity and neonatal deaths scandal?

Two recent inquiries have revealed systemic failures in maternity care within two hospital trusts in England, leading to preventable maternal and neonatal deaths. The Ockenden report, focusing on Nottingham hospitals, found that over 500 mothers and babies suffered harm or death due to poor care, including bullying, understaffing, and failure to address patient concerns. The report highlighted failures in communication, clinical governance, and prompt care for high-risk patients. Similarly, the Amos report identified widespread neglect in maternity services across the UK. Research indicates the UK maternal mortality rate increased by 20% since 2009-2011, showing the government has not met its goal to reduce maternal deaths.
