The final report into Shropshire's maternity care scandal will be published this spring.

The report will be the second detailing failures in care provided by Shrewsbury & Telford Hospital NHS Trust.

Maternity expert Donna Ockenden has been leading the inquiry into the trust since 2017.

Her first report was published in December 2020, and examined 250 cases.

The final report is expected to include findings from nearly 1,900 cases.

A publication date of Tuesday, March 22, has been set for the release of the report.
