I think this is one of the worst scandals I've uncovered and yet it remains somewhat under the radar. @wesstreeting has ordered an inquiry into the scandal. @CamillaKingdon has handed in her report to @DHSCgovuk. Why hasn't it been published?
🚨 Exclusive: New leaked document proves @NHSEngland was warned a decade ago about failures in child hearing test centres across England. Hundreds of children have been harmed, some left with lifelong problems: ▶️ https://t.co/OWgJUWsTXU

A reminder today from @Jeremy_Hunt that progress has been made in maternity safety. 700 fewer baby deaths per year in England than would have been the case had perinatal mortality rates stayed at 2013 levels - that’s 2 babies every day. #matsafety2025

When I launched the first #WorldPatientSafetyDay in 2019, my hope was for patient safety to become a truly global priority. Today, it’s inspiring to see that vision grow stronger each year. This year’s focus reminds us there is no higher duty than protecting the youngest lives.
Every child has the right to safe, quality health care — from the very beginning. This #WorldPatientSafetyDay, we call on parents, caregivers, health practitioners, health care leaders, educators and communities, to unite in action to prevent avoidable harm in paediatric care
