This Review has been established by NHS England in May 2022, following significant concerns raised regarding the quality and safety of maternity services at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust (NUH) and concerns of local families. This review replaces a previous regionally led review after some families expressed concern and made representation to the SoS at DHSC.
