Thirlwall Inquiry Report
Homerton Healthcare has rated its maternity services amber on most national safety actions, including those from the Thirlwall Inquiry, councillors heard in November 2026.
In November 2026, Homerton Healthcare, which runs Hackney’s maternity services, told Hackney’s Adults, Health and Integration Scrutiny Commission that it rated itself amber on nine out of ten national actions to improve maternity care safety. These actions stem from national recommendations, including those made by the Thirlwall Inquiry, following significant national concerns about maternity and neonatal care.
The trust reported it was fully compliant, or green, on only one point: post-death care. The Thirlwall Inquiry is a national investigation into maternity and neonatal services, which made 17 recommendations to address systemic issues in areas such as safeguarding and accountability.
