For the first time ever, this handle listened to those harmed & bereaved parents.

But this is another level of gaslighting, acknowledging something was distasteful, removing said post then going ahead & turning off all comments. Accountability at its finest, oh maybe not.

Gaslighting at its finest from @LeedsHospitals yesterday…

@DOckendenLtd @jamesmurray_ldn

[Lauren @Laurenncaul]

It is beyond disrespectful and insulting to myself and the hundreds, if not thousands, of women, children and families who have been harmed or killed at the hands of @LeedsHospitals

Couldn’t have thought of a better person to lead on Maternity in England. A formidable woman and a force to be reckoned with.

I, alongside many Leeds families will forever be grateful for her support of our campaign for safer maternity care.

Congratulations @MichelleWelshMP

🔴Breaking News - Appointed as Government's National Maternity Advisor

Today, I am honoured to announce that I have been appointed as the National Maternity Advisor to the Government.

This role is deeply personal to me. Before I was a politician, I was - and always will be - a mother. Like far too many women across this country, I know what it feels like to come through childbirth carrying both physical and emotional scars. That experience has shaped me, driven me, and strengthened my determination to fight for safer, more compassionate maternity care for every family.

Please see my statement below ⬇️

Thank you @FabianLeedsNE for your ongoing support in this campaign. It’s greatly appreciated 🙏🏽🤍

[Fabian Hamilton MP @FabianLeedsNE]

Grateful to @wesstreeting for confirming that Donna Ockenden will chair the Leeds maternity investigation.

When I raised this in Parliament, Wes committed to doing everything he can to ensure families get answers. He is doing the right thing by them with this decision. 1/2

New - The health secretary has made a U-turn and appointed @DOckendenLtd to lead the inquiry into 'repeated maternity' failures at Leeds. Families first wrote to the Wes Streeting in Jan 2025 calling for this - they've had to fight so long to be heard.
