What I am absolutely clear about is that corridor care isn’t acceptable. It’s not acceptable for patients or their families.
While the vast majority of mothers receive good care, I have heard from families who were let down, and from those who have bravely shared their experiences of loss – these are powerful stories. Their experiences must shape improvement.
That is why I announced this independent review, which will sit alongside the inspections already under way of every acute maternity unit in Scotland, to identify the systemic changes needed to strengthen services and improve outcomes.
I am proud this funding will help remove the barriers that stand between them and a return to the profession they trained for, while strengthening our NHS workforce at the same time.
