“When people learn what it's like to be a harmed family taking on the NHS they will be outraged”

“These senior NHS leaders - both at NUH and in the regional team - need to be questioned in court by a barrister with witnesses, with evidence”

“So for the coroner to say that a hospital which is saying that it doesn't have any issues, the death of a baby in their care was contributed by neglect is massive.”

“Your failure to engage constructively and with candour in this review is further proof that you are unfit to keep mothers and babies safe”

“We have very little confidence in Baroness Amos. It's not independent. It's commissioned by the same people who allowed Nottingham to happen.”

“I'm heartbroken that my first daughter Harriet is not here. She should be alive and yet, 10 years later, so many of our questions have not been answered and not one single person has been held accountable.”

“The issue we have is what will happen when it moves away from our hands and into the hands of the people who have repeatedly failed to make lasting change in maternity safety?”

“There is nothing that's stopping maternity services today changing. It doesn't matter what day you go in, the same things happen in the same order with the same reliability.”

“The fact that a significant number of senior staff chose not to participate in this review is appalling. You have demonstrated that maternity safety doesn't matter to you, that self-preservation does.”

“The hospital frequently failed to keep our loved ones safe.”

“Instability is a real concern for us. We want strong knowledgeable leadership.”

“When Donna arrived, we'd been gaslighted, Sarah and I, so hard and so often by the NHS ... that we weren't sure if we'd shouted loudly and got something that wasn't needed.”

“For the first few months, we were terrified that we got this massive thing happening and that there were going to be three families in it - because that's what we were being led to believe - and here we are.”

“We have to say though that the efforts made by the NMC are really exceptional, and it's not easy changing a big organisation like that, but I think we're seeing big change”

“the rapid review was "tragically minimising harm done to families"”
