Maternity care isn't good enough. I was glad to join campaigner @LouiseAThompson and National Maternity Advisor @MichelleWelshMP to discuss maternity commissioner and national action plan. My thanks to both - and to Health Sec @YvetteCooperMP for determination to sort this out.

The National Data Guardian has supported a letter sent out by @ICOnews to NHS Trust leaders saying “protecting confidentiality is vital to maintaining public trust in healthcare services and creating an organizational culture where confidentiality is respected starts at the top.”
Breaking:@ICOnews chief exec Paul Arnold has written to 200+ NHS Trust leaders urgently asking for their personal assurance that measures are in place and working effectively to prevent & detect staff prying into medical records. It’s exactly a week since victims wrote their own.

Forensic digital investigators can uncover and narrow down when and who did this. They must be deployed and these corruptions must be investigated end to end. @YvetteCooperMP @DamianHinds
🚨NHS Deletes Evidence During Ongoing Inquiries into Patient Harm A Libyan-born brain surgeon, Sam Eljamel, worked at a Scottish NHS hospital for nearly two decades before being suspended in 2013. Patients and campaigners say he carried out botched operations that left up to 200 people with life-changing injuries. An official public inquiry into his work is still under way, yet NHS staff later destroyed key theatre logbooks even though they had been ordered to keep them. In a separate case, an English NHS trust at the centre of the country’s biggest maternity scandal methodically deleted hundreds of files. Police concluded the deletion was most likely deliberate. Trusts deny any organised cover-up, but repeatedly losing the very records needed for investigations leaves patients and families with fewer answers and less trust.

METHODICALLY. SELECTIVELY. DELETED. BBC: Nottingham maternity files on child, neonatal and maternal deaths were deleted, an independent barrister found. Police: likely intentional, by one person. Nobody identified. No audit trail. Relevant to Ockenden and the coroner.

Ashish this is grossly pathological and needs urgent intervention by the Secretary of State for Health. We demand a statement from her…. @SkyNewsThompson

Files relating to child, neonatal & maternal deaths at @nottmhospitals was "intentionally/maliciously" deleted by someone who can't be identified. A reminder, if needed, that not everyone in the NHS acts in patients interests & underlines why the scandal needed exposing:

Horrified but sadly not surprised at confirmation from Nottingham that maternity records were ‘intentionally’ deleted. This is a playbook I’m familiar with. 1/…

“the individual who deleted the files could not be identified by any investigation” -This has got to be the biggest scandal heard from the same Trust that breached medical notes of our children from Nottingham attacks. - We found data breaches and now systematic and planned data deletion. This is totally scandalous. I have long said the Sec of State for Health needs a total management replacement at this hospital immediately…….. Sec of State you are sleeping on the job…..get on with it. This Trust has got to be the most scandal ridden in the country. “Get Nottingham right, get the country right” @YvetteCooperMP @DHSCgovuk @KemiBadenoch @DamianHinds bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cmly…

Largest maternity harm in history Intentional, methodical deletion of files relating to baby deaths Deaths already caused by negligent & at times criminal care No how,where,who or why - management retired,staff gone I do not accept it can be guaranteed to be one individual

This is absolutely horrific. I wonder where this sits in the “nobody comes to work to do harm” line that bereaved and harmed families are continually force fed?

This is an absolute scandal.
Breaking: An independent KC has concluded files containing bereavement and medical examiners records @nottmhospitals between 2019 and 2022 were “methodically and selectively deleted and that the deletion was intentional rather than accidental.”

What makes this so difficult to stomach is the likelihood that this individual may still be working at @nottmhospitals. If anyone has any information, please do come forward.
Sky News has spoken to @BoWynStorm and Sarah Andrews about this report. They say: “They did that under a spotlight where they weren’t afraid this would impact on the lives of the families that were having to go through coroners processes… (1/2)
