The Care Quality Commission (CQC) has publicly apologized for delays in releasing a report on maternity services at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust, which currently faces the largest inquiry into such services within the NHS. Recent inspections revealed multiple breaches of care standards, though some ratings showed improvement. Criticism from inquiry leader Donna Ockenden emphasized the unacceptable nature of these delays, which the CQC attributed to complications from a technology transformation program that hindered its reporting processes, failing to meet community standards for timely communication.
Following recent inspections, the CQC found serious breaches in maternity services at Nottingham's hospitals, prompting an apology for delayed report publication.
The CQC admitted that a large-scale technology transformation contributed to the delays in publishing crucial inspection reports, an unacceptable situation, according to senior midwife Donna Ockenden.
