Allegations of bullying within maternity programme of HSIB
It was created with the very best of intentions – to help hospitals learn lessons when a baby or mother is harmed or dies.
But a Channel 4 News investigation has been hearing that the maternity programme of the Healthcare Safety Investigation Branch – or HSIB – was riddled with flaws.
