Description

Englands maternity services are under fire, with a new report revealing hungry mothers, unsanitary wards, and poor care. Baroness Amos, leading a review, found the situation worse than expected, with staff receiving death threats. Health Secretary Wes Streeting highlighted systemic failures causing preventable tragedies. Women, particularly those from lower-income and Black backgrounds, faced discriminatory services and lack of empathy. The final report from Baroness Amos is due in the spring, and a new National Maternity and Neonatal Taskforce will be established to implement her recommendations.
