Maternity care is in crisis:

Zoe Williams concludes:

'It’s not a story of one bad apple, or one bad chief executive, or one bad institutional culture, or one underprivileged area. In 2022, 80 of the country’s 193 maternity units were deemed unsafe by the Care Quality Commission. That definitely wasn’t the austerity promise, not even in the small print: creating a country not safe to give birth in'!

One more dimensions of the Tories wrecking of the NHS

@ChrisMayLA6 it's also part of the tick box approach healthcare. If you train professionals to act as providers of care/advice to individuals tailored their needs, but then insist that they deliver (bog) standard care aimed at a mythical Mean patient, then as day follows night the probability that any person receive excellent care is very close to zero. So costs rise as outcomes deteriorate.
Healthcare is complex and humans keep it safe, if permitted to; procedures may prevent them doing that.

Lord, does the word criminally negligent work for you? The Tories are civilizational cancer, at least on par with what we endure in the US, just with a veneer of British restraint.

It’s not hard to see why. Plutocracy is global but its homeland is the US. London is their Eastern corporate HQ.
