Grieving Leeds Families Take Maternity Scandal to Yvette Cooper's Door

Grieving Leeds Families Take Maternity Scandal to Yvette Cooper's Door

Families harmed by maternity failings at Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust meet Health Secretary Yvette Cooper on Wednesday, alongside midwife Donna Ockenden, who is leading a review of the trust. A BBC investigation found the deaths of at least 56 babies and two mothers there over five years may have been preventable. Some families are Cooper's own constituents, and they want a statutory public inquiry.
