A report examining shortcomings in NHS maternity services recommends that a commissioner be appointed to oversee improvements. The review outlines persistent problems affecting care quality and patient outcomes across multiple facilities. Bereaved families told Sky News the recommendation is insufficient and renewed their calls for a statutory public inquiry.
The families said only a formal inquiry would ensure full accountability and systemic change. The report does not specify a timeline for implementing the commissioner role or detail its powers.
