‘Shockingly poor’: What needs to change in maternity care?

A landmark parliamentary inquiry into traumatic childbirths has called for an overhaul of the UK's maternity services after finding poor care is "all-too-frequently tolerated as normal".   The report calls for a new maternity commissioner who will report to the prime minister, better staffing levels on maternity wards, and for mothers to be listened to more.  On the Sky News Daily, Matt Barbet speaks to campaigner and mother-of-two Tinuke Awe about her experiences of giving birth and is joined by Sky correspondent Laura Bundock to find out what the government plans to do to address the issues raised in the report.    Producer: Rosie Gillott  Podcast Promotions Producer: Jada-Kai Meosa John     Interviews Producer: Melissa Tutesigensi-Charles   Editor: Wendy Parker
