Giving birth in the UK is getting more dangerous; the number of women dying in childbirth is up 20% in the last ten years. Now, in Nottingham, the largest-ever maternity inquiry is underway, reviewing the medical records of thousands of births for signs of avoidable harm.\n\nReporting for Panorama, Michael Buchanan hears powerful testimonies: from mothers who weren’t listened to, staff who blew the whistle but were ignored, and from parents whose babies’ tragic deaths were dismissed as ‘just bad luck’. The programme also hears from the new chief executive of the Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust, who has promised change.\n\nAs families unite to demand answers, Panorama investigates how systemic neglect, inadequate staffing and a reluctance to learn from mistakes have led to heartbreak.
