Catastrophic failures at an NHS trust may have led to the deaths of more than 200 babies, nine mothers and left other infants with life-changing injuries. • Senior midwife Donna Ockenden examined maternity practices at Shrewsbury and Telford NHS Trust (SaTH) over 20 years. • The review found 201 babies and nine mothers could have – or would have – survived if the NHS trust had provided better care, in the UK’s biggest maternity scandal. • Her report found that babies' deaths were often not investigated and grieving parents were not listened to. • This meant, she said, failures in care were repeated and some mothers were even blamed for their own deaths. • SaTH has apologised to affected families and described the report as deeply distressing . It said many changes highlighted by Ms Ockenden had already been introduced. • Kayleigh Griffiths, whose daughter Pippa died in 2016, said words from the trust aren't going to be enough . • The Sun newspaper brings you the latest breaking news videos and explainers from the UK and around the world • Become a Sun Subscriber and hit the bell to be the first to know • Read The Sun: http://www.thesun.co.uk • Like The Sun on Facebook: / thesun • Follow The Sun on Twitter: / thesun • Subscribe to The Sun on Snapchat: / 1633225139
