RCM response to Government announcement on national maternity investigation
“Now that the Trusts have been named, it’s imperative that this investigation gets underway at pace. This announcement will bring clarity, but it will also bring fresh challenges for maternity staff at the Trusts affected. It is vital that staff are supported through what will inevitably be a difficult process”
