Amos Review: Lib Dems call for "genuine accountability" as "worst fears" are confirmed 

In response to the release of the Independent National Maternity and Neonatal Investigation, carried out by Baroness Amos, Helen Morgan MP, Liberal Democrat Health Spokesperson, said:

“The Amos report confirms our worst fears in black and white. Maternity services in England are fundamentally broken, and the cost of political neglect is being paid in trauma, injury, and lost lives.

“From Somerset to Blackpool, the safety of having a baby has become a postcode lottery. Women are being routinely silenced, and staff who raise the alarm on unsafe care or systemic discrimination are being crushed by a culture of fear.

“Anger is not enough. The Government must meet this moment or families will never forgive them. This report cannot simply gather dust like so many others that came before it. The recommendations must be implemented in full and without delay.

"We need to see genuine accountability throughout the NHS, and the investment needed to make Britain the safest country in the world to have a baby. Liberal Democrats will not rest until that happens.”
