More than 150 baby deaths have been linked to poor maternity care at hospitals run by the Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust in the United Kingdom, according to a report released on Wednesday.
The inquiry found that at least 156 babies died, including 94 stillbirths and 62 newborn deaths, in cases where care may have been inadequate or avoidable.
Six mothers also died during the period under review.
The investigation examined more than 2,500 cases spanning 13 years, from 2012 to 2025, making it the largest maternity inquiry in the history of the UK’s National Health Service (NHS).
The report identified a “bullying and toxic culture” within the trust’s maternity units and said poor leadership contributed to serious failures in patient care.
Reacting to the findings, United Kingdom (UK) Health Minister James Murray described the report as “chilling” and pledged reforms to improve maternity services.
