Maternity and neonatal safety recommendations
Hackney's maternity services are assessing their implementation of national safety recommendations, with most actions rated amber in November 2026.
Homerton Healthcare, which runs Hackney’s maternity services, rated itself amber on nine of ten national actions to make maternity care safer in November 2026. This self-assessment was presented to Hackney’s Adults, Health and Integration Scrutiny Commission. The trust indicated it is not yet fully implementing these recommendations, which followed national concerns about maternity and neonatal care.
The national safety recommendations, including those from the Amos Review and Thirlwall Inquiry, aim to improve maternity and neonatal care. Homerton Healthcare rated itself green on only one point, post-death care, with the other nine points requiring further action.
