What changed
The government is instituting immediate measures focused on improving governance, accountability, and safeguarding in neonatal care across the NHS. This includes plans to introduce CCTV monitoring (cot cams), new guidance on the safe use of insulin, creating a regulatory framework for NHS managers, and a national Bereavement Care Pathway for families.
Why it matters
These changes aim to prevent future failures in patient safety and ensure better protection for vulnerable infants and families, directly responding to the major concerns raised by the Thirlwall Inquiry about the NHS's current practices.
