A corporate manslaughter investigation has been initiated regarding care failures at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS trust, potentially leading to hundreds of neonatal deaths and injuries. Nottinghamshire Police will assess whether gross negligence can be attributed to the trust, which is under scrutiny in the largest maternity inquiry within the NHS's history. Led by independent midwife Donna Ockenden, the inquiry is examining around 2,500 incidents involving deaths and injuries. Det Supt Matthew Croome emphasized the seriousness of the investigation, which aims to determine if the responsibility lies with the organization as a whole.
