Baroness Amos has demanded urgent reform of maternity triage services in England, after pregnant women who called the NHS with concerns were dismissed

More than 1,000 women have died before, during and after childbirth since 2010 and analysis seen by Channel 4 News suggests more than half might have survived with better care

Lady Amos said the new maternity commissioner must be accountable to Parliament and have a ‘relentless focus on improving maternity and neonatal care’
