A major report into maternity care has found repeated failures in NHS services that have left families suffering, highlighting incidences of systemic racism and unsafe maternity care.
Health Secretary James Murray said it was a "watershed moment" and promised a "comprehensive action plan by the end of this year".
Baroness Valerie Amos led the Independent National Maternity and Neonatal Investigation, and her final report was published on Tuesday.
The investigation spoke to 450 families and 12 NHS trusts about the "mistakes and inequalities" in maternity and neonatal care, and concluded a need for "urgent reform".
