Welsh Government escalates intervention at

Jeremy Miles announced Swansea's services will be escalated to level four on the five-point oversight scale following the damning family-led review on maternity and neonatal services.

- WALES' health secretary yesterday confirmed Swansea Bay maternity services and Cardiff and Vale health board will be escalated to the second-highest level of government intervention, writes ICNN Senedd reporter Chris Haines.

Mr Miles said the families’ distressing report and a review commissioned by the health board showed people were not listened to and services fell well below expected standards.

The health secretary apologised to families for their experiences, with some describing examples of severe birth trauma, which he said must never happen again.
