NHS trust repays £5m over maternity failings2 hours ago Share Save Michael Buchanan Social affairs correspondent Share SaveGetty ImagesAn NHS trust at the centre of concerns over its poor maternity services has had to repay almost £5m after wrongly claiming it provided safe care to mothers and their babies. Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust was paid the money after saying its services met safe standards of care and staffing. The Leeds trust said they had allocated additional funding to improve maternity services. But the regulator, the Care Quality Commission (CQC), published a damning report in June about maternity services at the trust. Streeting has so far refused to order such an inquiry but the families, who have all experienced poor maternity care, said they remained hopeful.
