Hundreds of mothers and babies suffered potentially avoidable harm or died due to "deeply embedded systemic failures" at maternity units in Nottingham, a review led by senior midwife Donna Ockenden has concluded.

Ockenden said she hoped her conclusions would "drive real and lasting change to maternity services in England".
