The shocking investigation reports the death of 17 babies after birth, three deaths during pregnancy, 22 still births, the death of three mothers, 47 cases of substandard care and 51 cases of cerebral palsy or brain damage. It is described as the largest maternity scandal in the history of the NHS.
