Response to HIW report - 31st July 2024
We are fully committed to continuously improving our maternity and neonatal services, and this latest HIW report recognises the “significant improvements” already made, particularly around staffing and service leadership.
However we acknowledge there is still more to be done, and are taking firm action to complete all the outstanding recommendations.
The full report gives extensive details of the improvements made, as well as our action plan, and we encourage all interested parties to read it through.
The HIW report published today follows a recent release of the most up-to-date UK-wide MBRRACE data. This data, which is open to the public, demonstrates that our maternity and neonatal mortality rate is lower than similar maternity and neonatal services elsewhere in the UK.
Follow this link to the MBRRACE-UK website to view the perinatal mortality data.
