Surgeon offered womb removals in 'minutes' without proper examination, women say
A report into former NHS gynaecologist Daniel Hay's care reveals major failings, with risky practices leading to severe harm in women under his care. The University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust expressed regret for substandard care received by patients. Recommendations have been made to identify poorly performing clinicians, improve oversight, and invest in gynaecological support. Investigations into Mr. Hay's previous care and governance at the trust are ongoing.
