Anger at '˜failings' on maternity wards
UKIP health spokeswoman and Fylde Euro MP Louise Bours has reacted angrily to figures revealing at least 340 blunders occur every day on NHS maternity wards.
A major review into the safety of maternity services is being published by the NHS aiming to ensure mistakes do not happen again.
Ms Bours said: “I appreciate most mistakes are classed as ‘near misses’ or low injury but alarmingly 151 women and newborns died last year with another 351 suffering severe harm.
