MNSI Annual report 2023/24 published

MNSI’s Annual Report 2023/24 shines a light on the work MNSI has undertaken in 2023/24 and shares the programme’s ambitions for 2025 and beyond.

Over the past year MNSI has continued to focus on ensuring that all mothers/birthing people and their families can access safe maternity services in England, opening over 600 new maternity safety investigations in 2023/24.

Across 2023/24 we have worked to:

• Reduce the inequity of outcomes for Black / ethnic minority women / birthing people and their babies.
• Improve communication between mothers/birthing people and maternity services.
• Improve the impact of thematic learning information.

The report highlights our progress in these areas and areas for future development.

The report also shines a light on the impact our work has had on the women/birthing people and their families who participate in our investigations. We repeatedly hear their hope that no other family goes through what they have experienced; we acknowledge this remains an ambition within maternity care in England which is yet to be achieved. Taking the action required to ensure that everyone receives safe, personalised maternity care must therefore be prioritised and sustained. We are committed to playing our part in the system-wide change which is needed to turn this ambition into reality.
