Administrative / biographical background

On 12 September 2013 the Secretary of State for Health announced an independent investigation into Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust Maternity and Neonatal Services, to be chaired by Dr Bill Kirkup CBE.

Between January 2004 and June 2013 there were a series of deaths of mothers and newborn babies in the maternity and neonatal services unit at Furness General Hospital in Barrow-in-Furness. Several reviews took place during this period but these had not given those affected confidence that all of the facts had been heard and all of the underlying issues had been resolved. The Morecambe Bay Investigation would focus on the actions, systems and processes of the Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust and also investigate the actions of regulators and commissioners where those actions affected the safety of maternity and neonatal services provided by the Trust. The investigation would report to the Secretary of State for Health by summer 2014.
