Nottingham baby deaths prompt manslaughter inquiry launched by police
Nottinghamshire Police have initiated a corporate manslaughter investigation into failings at maternity units in Nottingham, specifically examining gross negligence in the care provided by Nottingham University Hospitals (NUH) NHS trust. Over 2,500 cases under review by independent midwife Donna Ockenden are part of the largest maternity inquiry in the NHS's history. The police probe focuses on the Queen's Medical Centre and Nottingham City Hospital, both overseen by the NUH trust.
