Two men are arrested in connection with “operating practices” in a hospital mortuary as part of an ongoing investigation into maternity failings in Nottingham. Nottinghamshire Police say the arrests are linked to the mortuary service associated with the Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust, which is at the centre of a major inquiry into the deaths of babies and serious harm to families. Media reports describe the arrests as part of “Operation Perth,” an investigation focused on how failures in the trust’s maternity services contributed to the outcomes under review. The Guardian reports that the trust is expected to face a major report into the failings on Wednesday, while other outlets cite the police confirmation that the arrests relate to misconduct in the running of mortuary services. The reports do not identify the men or detail the specific allegations beyond the reference to mortuary operating practices. The police statement indicates the arrests are connected to the mortuary service operations rather than the maternity care itself, and the matter remains under investigation.
