NHS Scandal: Harry Potter Star to Lead TV Drama
20 Jul
Summary
- A major NHS maternity scandal will be dramatized on television.
- Over 500 mothers and babies suffered harm or died at NUH.
- Campaigning families pushed for answers after tragic losses.
The UK's largest maternity scandal, impacting over 500 mothers and babies at Nottingham University Hospitals (NUH) NHS Trust, is now the subject of a new television drama.
The series will feature actor Jason Isaacs and is based on the ITV documentary 'Maternity: Broken Trust,' which documented the profound impact of the trust's failings on families.
Families, like Jack and Sarah Hawkins whose daughter Harriet died in 2016, have campaigned for years seeking accountability for the avoidable harm and deaths that occurred.
NUH has described the review as a "watershed moment" and has committed to substantial improvements in its maternity services, aiming to create a safer environment for women and children.
