The BBC has reported a judgement by the Professional Standards Authority that the NMC took too long to investigate a series of concerns regarding the deaths of babies in a hospital in Cumbria.<\/p>\n

The delay by the Nursing and Midwifery Council in addressing the issues raised by Cumbrian police may have led to further deaths which could otherwise have been avoided.<\/p>\n

Midwives who were subsequently struck off were allowed to continue working due to the delay in carrying out an investigation \u2013 a delay in some cases of up to eight years.<\/p>\n

Between 2004 and 2014, eleven babies died at Furness General Hospital, part of the University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust.<\/p>\n

The BBC has reported Jeremy Hunt, the Secretary of State for Health & Social Care, as commenting that the NMC \u201cneeds a massive culture change so that families feel they are being listened to.\u201d<\/p>\n
