NMSI made 1,112 recs since inception. That number doesn’t demonstrate progress-it highlights the problem. Mat services aren’t unsafe because of 1,112 individual problems. They’re unsafe because of a handful of deep-rooted structural & cultural issues that still haven’t been fixed

Trainee midwives are being forced to leave the profession because of "immense financial pressures", according to the Royal College of Midwives. https://t.co/vuvsEfzBAs

Recruiting and retaining the right staff is key to safety in our services. Maternity staff work tirelessly to ensure safe care but when there are too few midwives and MSWs, members are unable to deliver the care they would like. See RCM safety resources: https://t.co/5U5TNv1HLa

Across the North East & Yorkshire, there were 194 fewer midwives than a year ago, according to the latest NHS workforce stats. But latest birth figures show births *up* in both the NE as well as Yorkshire & the Humber. We need a decent pay rise to help keep & retain NHS midwives
