Police to launch inquiry into maternity failings at Nottingham hospitals trust

Nottinghamshire force says it is preparing criminal investigation

Nottinghamshire police have announced they are launching a criminal investigation into maternity failings at Nottingham university hospitals (NUH) NHS trust, after hundreds families raised concerns to an independent review.

In January the trust was fined a record 800,000 after admitting to failings in the care of a woman and her baby, who died minutes after being born.
