The findings are unprecedented in NHS history, in length and scale—and, arguably, in condemnatory tone. Disaster should not have struck this often
Save time by listening to our audio articles as you multitaskThe final Ockenden Report, published on March 30th after years of campaigning by bereaved parents , does not make for easy reading.
