Head of maternity review says 'we will listen to parents'
A review of maternity services in Scotland started this week and will report back next summer
The head of a major review of maternity services has reassured bereaved parents their voices will be heard as part of her work.
Families had expressed concern the forward-looking national review of services in Scotland would not take into account how they felt failed by the NHS.
But Prof Christine McCourt told BBC Scotland talking to a range of people would be valuable in "drawing the right lessons for improvement".
The Scottish government said the review, which got under way this week and is due to report back next summer, would consider the "direct experiences of women, families and staff at every level of care".
The review was ordered by ministers a year ago following a BBC Disclosure investigation highlighting failings in maternity care across Scotland.
In the film, Lori Quate shared his experience of losing his wife Jacqui Hunter in 2020.
Jacqui Hunter died giving birth to her stillborn daughter, Olivia
Jacqui died at Ninewells hospital in Dundee while giving birth to their stillborn daughter, Olivia.
She had been given an overdose of a drug to bring on labour, and an NHS review found that it could have been a factor in her death.
