Summary
An anchor introduces a rapid review of maternity services in England, which heard from more than 8,000 people. Social affairs correspondent Mark of the Cannon reports that the review identifies six main issues including poor culture, lack of cooperation between midwives and obstetricians, insufficient staffing, racism and discrimination, and lack of accountability. A promised maternity safety task force has not yet been established; the government says it will be shortly. Families are questioning whether the review can deliver improvements.
