Today there are reports on the outcome of the review into yet another NHS maternity scandal, this time at Shrewsbury and Telford hospitals.
The themes are horribly reminiscent of previous scandals - women not listened to, warning signs missed, c sections refused when they should have been the course of action. Then to add insult to gravest of injuries, mothers blamed for staff failings, intentional cover ups and bereaved parents having to fight for the truth.
This feels to me very much like a feminist issue. Also, hearing from friends who have had babies this year how much they have felt abandoned both during labour and by health visitors once home, I'm worried we have yet another scandal brewing.
