Racism and 'poor' staff relationships factors in maternity care failings, report finds

Maternity services in England are failing "too many" families, with problems "at every stage" of the maternity journey, an interim report has found.

Racism, staffing and accountability issues were among six factors identified by Baroness Amos, who is leading a government-commissioned review.

More than 8,000 people have so far submitted evidence, with Baroness Amos meeting more than 400 families.

Health Secretary Wes Streeting has promised to act on her final recommendations, which will be published in June.
