Donna Ockenden leads review of Leeds maternity care after 56 baby and 2 maternal deaths possibly preventable.
Donna Ockenden has been appointed to lead an independent review into maternity and neonatal services at Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, following years of concerns over preventable baby and maternal deaths.
The investigation, ordered by Health Secretary Wes Streeting after a BBC report identified at least 56 baby deaths and two maternal deaths potentially avoidable, will examine care from 2011 to 2025 using an opt-out system to include all eligible families.
Ockenden, a senior midwife with experience leading major maternity reviews in Nottingham, Shrewsbury, and Telford, will focus on uncovering systemic failures, listening to families and staff, and ensuring accountability and lasting improvements in perinatal care.
Families of affected children welcomed the appointment, calling it a crucial step toward justice and safer care.
