@Laurenncaul@jamesmurray_ldn It will be important to see transparency around who chairs which items of the agenda reported in the official notes of the Taskforce meetings.
Yes, @jamesmurray_ldn chaired the last task force meeting but left after an hour, before any of the real conversations began.
What actions or progress do we expect to happen in an hour?
Did I read this statement from @MidwivesRCM correctly?
Presumably many of the midwives exhibiting such poor behaviour are RCM members, and their line managers too. (That's assuming proper line management exists; my hunch is that may be another aspect of this terrible mess.)
A Panorama programme airing this evening highlights the failures in maternity care at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust. The RCM has responded: https://t.co/eLu73SwJ29
Have you considered a #HomeBirth w/ #Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust in the last 12 months, or supported someone who has? We want to hear about your experience of seeking or providing home birth support at this Trust.

@BirthTrauma@AmandaPCraig Not every woman, obviously.
But it's so sad that Amanda might even think this could be true.
What a reflection on the state of our maternity services her honest opinion is☹️
Thank you for sharing.
@catherineroyuk I don't understand. We are talking here about which professional first talks to a pregnant woman when she has decided to request NHS maternity care. Why is it a problem that this professional is a midwife - primed to liaise with/notify/refer to further professionals as necessary?
@MAurelius200@wesstreeting But others disagree: "It is the view of AIMS that the forthcoming parliamentary discussion about the proposal for a new Maternity Commissioner is an unhelpful use of parliamentary time ..." https://t.co/KC1H6vzfY1
@MartynPitman Why are we Not surprised with this Times article informing us of the maternity death & harm ?
The push for a maternity non clinical commissioner is Not the answer !
We have currently so many layers of system investigation / scrutiny oversight that are not fit for purpose.
@DadOfAubrey@DHSCgovuk@CQCProf Good question. Alternative defn: "don't result in the small number of particularly extreme adverse outcomes that politicians have been targeting in recent years" ... ???
