Kirstie Allsopp has slammed the Labour Government and issued a plea after Wes Streeting announced an independent inquiry into “repeated failures” at an NHS trust’s maternity units. Earlier this year, a BBC investigation unveiled that the deaths of at least 56 babies and two mothers at Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust (LTH) could have been prevented. Wes Streeting said a thorough investigation was required to understand what had “gone so catastrophically wrong”. Channel 4 presenter Kirstie, who is best known for her role on Location, Location, Location, didn’t hold back when it came to expressing her views. Taking to X, she launched a plea and urged the Government to deal with the issue.
She said: “What has happened within UK Maternity Services has been a national scandal. We march in the street for lost babies in other countries, but turn away from what has happened & continues to happen right under our noses. God willing @wesstreeting & @DOckendenLtd can change this.”
