The maternity investigator Donna Ockenden says an Amos review “hasn’t taught me anything new.” Speaking publicly, she comments on the findings and implications of the review, suggesting that it does not add new learning beyond what she has already identified through her investigation work.
In the same discussion, Ockenden is also asked whether she would take on the role of national maternity commissioner. The reports focus on her responses to both questions, with one outlet highlighting that her assessment of the Amos review does not reflect a new or expanded understanding, while another includes an additional focus on whether she would move into a national oversight position.
Together, the sources present Ockenden’s view that the Amos review does not materially change her perspective, and they note the question of potential wider responsibility for maternity services through the commissioner role. No further details of the Amos review’s specific recommendations are provided in the excerpts.
