Data shows a decrease in deliveries of babies at Leeds NHS Trust over the last decade.

It comes after a national report found NHS maternity units are delivering "unacceptable care" with some women left to "bleed out" in bathrooms and babies suffering avoidable deaths.

Baroness Valerie Amos, who is leading the National Maternity and Neonatal Investigation, has spoken to more than 170 families across England, including those whose babies have died because of failings in care.
