Is this latest CQC Review news? Or is it just what we and the thousands of families affected already know? @wesstreeting what is going to be done about it? #CQC #maternitysafety #birthinjury
CL Medilaw@clmedilaw

Today, the @CareQualityComm published its National Review of Maternity Services in England for 2022-2024, finding that nearly two thirds of maternity units are unsafe. Partner, @lauracook85, discusses the true cost of these preventable harms. #Maternity clmedilaw.co.uk/news/cqc-natio…

@helenhammondli1 @MartynPitman Short of getting an amendment to the Health and Social Care Act regulations to extend the time limit I’m not sure. Going to try and get a view from specialist counsel. Reality is that 3 years will never be enough when the CQC waits for others to gather the evidence for them

@helenhammondli1 Are you able to offer advice and guidance on this issue from the medicolegal perspective? Thank you
Jo 🦋@JoSimms72

@MartynPitman @Robyn_Medhurst The thing is Martyn we are all in the same boat, there appears to be no means of getting an extension to the 3 year limitation for prosecution. All of us raise the complaint within ample time, it’s the @CareQualityComm who drag their heels, ignore - then the time is up

Chloe’s pains were repeatedly dismissed, one midwife telling her to ‘live her life and go to Waitrose’. 2 days later Esme died. Another shocking example of mothers not being listened to with tragic consequences
CL Medilaw@clmedilaw

When Chloe tragically lost her baby Esme in 2022, she recalls being ‘gaslighted’ by every medical professional. She now joins the call for an independent inquiry into the University Hospitals Sussex NHS Trust’s maternity ward. #BirthTraumaInquiry clmedilaw.co.uk/news/worthing-…

After many years of litigation, my client and his family will finally get the compensation they deserve. FXZ has PVL, a type of brain injury often put down to prematurity but actually often preventable with safe maternity care #changinglives #birthinjury #medicalnegligence

One of the most tragic and heartbreaking cases I’ve come across. The hurt caused for Robyn and Jonny is unbearable. We will not stop until justice for Orlando is served and maternity services at Worthing Hospital are improved #maternitysafety #birthtrauma #inquest
CL Medilaw@clmedilaw

We're representing Robyn and Jonny Davis following the death of their 14 day old son, Orlando. @BBCSouthNews spoke to them, 2 years after his death while they still wait for answers from University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust. clmedilaw.co.uk/news/inquest-i… #ChangingLives
