Midwifery supervision and regulation: recommendations for change

This report follows the completion of three investigations into complaints from three families, all of which related to local midwifery supervision and regulation. It finds that the midwifery supervision and regulatory arrangements at the local level failed to identify poor midwifery practice at Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust. It concludes that the current arrangements do not always allow information about poor care to be escalated effectively into hospital clinical governance or the regulatory system.
