    This is the transcript of a debate in the House of Commons ahead of Baby Loss Awareness Week (9 to 15 October 2021).

    This is the Government’s formal response to the recommendations made by the Health and Social Care Committee in its report, ‘The Safety of Maternity Services in England’.  The Committee’s inquiry examined evidence relating to the safety of maternity services. It builds upon current investigations following incidents at East Kent Hospitals University Trust and Shrewsbury and Telford Hospitals NHS Trust, as well as the inquiry into the University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Trust. The inquiry also considered whether the clinical negligence and litigation processes need to be changed to improve the safety of maternity services and explored the impact of blame culture on learning from incidents.

    Prisons and Probation Ombudsman Sue McAllister has published the independent investigation into the death of a baby (Baby A) at HMP Bronzefield on 27 September 2019. The investigation identified a considerable number of issues and concerns about the care and management of Ms A, the baby’s mother. Sue makes a significant number of recommendations to improve maternity services in Bronzefield. There is wider learning for the whole of the women’s prison estate from the death of Baby A, and the Prison Service must take this opportunity to improve the outcomes for pregnant prisoners so that this tragic event is not repeated.

    In most cases pregnancy and birth are a positive and safe experience for women and their families. This is the outcome that everyone working in maternity services wants every time, for every woman. But when things go wrong, we need to understand what happened, and whether the outcome could have been different. The death or injury of a new baby or mother is devastating and something that everyone working in the health and care system has a responsibility to do all they can to prevent. Following the publication of ‘Getting safer faster’ the Care Quality Commission (CQC) launched a programme of risk-based, focused maternity safety inspections involving a more focused in-depth assessment of relational elements such as teamworking and culture, staff and patient experience. Building on our previous calls for action, the CQC also sought to further explore the barriers that prevent some services from providing consistently good, safe care and to better understand the disparities in outcomes that exist for women and babies from Black and minority ethnic groups. This report presents the key themes from nine of those inspections alongside insight gathered from direct engagement with organisations representing women using maternity services and their families, including Five X More and local Maternity Voices Partnerships.

    Neonatal herpes is a rare, and potentially fatal, disease which usually occurs in the first four weeks of a baby's life. It is caused by the same virus that causes cold sores and genital infections – the herpes simplex virus (HSV). Early recognition and treatment has been shown to significantly improve babies' chances of making a full recovery. In the first of a series of blogs, Sarah de Malplaquet, Chief Executive and Founder of the Kit Tarka Foundation, explains why they are joint-funding new research into neonatal herpes, and how the findings could help save many lives.

    Miscarriage for Men, was set up by Chris Whitfield. Chris and his wife Jade suffered a miscarriage in February 2021, and on the back of this, Chris realised that there was very little support or anywhere to turn to for men, who were going through the agony of miscarriage. Men often choose to hide their emotions rather than speak up. This platform is for them to release that emotion, read stories from men in a similar scenario and let them know they are not alone. This website will point people in the direction of guidance, self help techniques to combat these emotions, a forum with real life stories, a chat function and many other helpful tools.

    Better Births set out a compelling view of what maternity services should look like in the future. The vision is clear: we should work together across organisational boundaries in larger place-based systems to provide a service that is kind, professional and safe, offering women informed choice and a better experience by personalising their care. Whilst Better Births described the vision, this resource pack sets out in detail what needs to be done and how it can be accomplished across the whole of England. It is designed to provide tools to help Local Maternity Systems turn the vision into reality and the practical advice needed to plan, commission and operate maternity services in their localities.

    "My voice didn't matter. I felt like I was being gas lit, and that I wasn't important." Black women report being dismissed and neglected by healthcare professionals throughout pregnancy, childbirth and beyond - and are four times more likely to die in childbirth than women of other ethnicities. Prominent medical committee, NICE, has proposed that inducing pregnant Black women, bringing their birth forward early, could go some way to addressing the problem. The host of this podcast from The Fourcast speaks to a doctor who says it’ll make birth safer for mums and babies, and campaigner Sandra Igwe who says that early induction is not the solution to a deep and complex issue, rooted in racism and inadequate healthcare for Black mothers-to-be.  *Content warning: This episode includes discussion about maternal death and stillbirth.

    The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists reviewed maternity care at two hospitals:  The Royal Glamorgan hospital Prince Charles hospital The report makes recommendation on improvements to ensure the safety of mothers and babies. "During interviews and in group sessions the assessors were repeatedly and consistently told by staff of a reluctance to report patient safety issues because of a fear of blame, suspension or disciplinary action." "The assessors found little evidence among staff at all levels and professional backgrounds, of a coherent approach towards patient safety, or an understanding of their roles and responsibilities towards patient safety beyond the care they provided for a specific woman or group of women. This perception extended to senior members of midwifery and medical staff."
