Health minister Wes Streeting calls for senior health officials and NHS “force” leadership to appear before MPs regarding a maternity scandal. Multiple outlets report that Streeting urges Parliament to scrutinise the issues and that he is critical of how senior leaders are engaging with a review.
The BBC and other papers say Streeting argues that key leaders have not cooperated with the review into the maternity scandal. The Evening Standard reports he describes the refusal by senior NHS leaders to cooperate as appalling. The Belfast Telegraph and Evening Standard both frame the call as a requirement for accountability through questioning by MPs.
Across the coverage, the thrust is the same: Streeting seeks formal scrutiny by MPs and contends that barriers to cooperation with the review have prevented timely transparency. The articles do not, in the excerpts provided, set out new detailed findings from the review or specify the names of officials or the outcomes of any previous investigations.
