Inspectors have reported finding bodies in a state of 'advanced deterioration' at a mortuary operated by an under-fire NHS trust in Nottingham. The discovery raises serious concerns about the care and management of the deceased at the facility.

A review has uncovered 'horrific' and 'systemic failures' in maternity care at a Nottingham NHS trust, revealing the biggest childbirth scandal in NHS history where 520 mothers and babies suffered 'potentially avoidable' harm or died, prompting calls for a public inquiry.

A review of 2,500 cases at a Nottingham NHS trust between 2012 and 2015 found systemic and deep-rooted failures, a bullying culture, and racism, leading to the deaths or harm of over 500 mothers and babies.
