A national investigation into NHS maternity services has been launched by Health Secretary Wes Streeting.

The new rapid investigation is intended to provide truth to families suffering harm, as well as driving urgent improvements to care and safety.

It comes after Mr Streeting met families who have lost babies and amid the ongoing investigations at some NHS trusts into poor maternity care.
