Ockenden Review

Proceeding contribution from Lord Bethell (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 14 December 2020. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Ockenden Review.

I join others in paying tribute to the personal testimony of the noble Baroness. The story that she tells is extremely moving. One cannot think about the challenges and difficulties that she

must have had since that awful night, which she so movingly describes. The report makes it clear that those with a BAME background have disproportionately high rates of difficulty at birth and in maternity services, something which undoubtedly we need to look at more carefully. However, the Ockenden report is not a historic grievances report, and that will not be the focus of our response.
