We so desperately need Anti-SLAPP legislation in the U.K.
If you’re unaware- a SLAPP is a Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation. They’re being used to silence & financially ruin patient safety advocates & whistleblowers.

Last week, Baroness Amos published her interim report into maternity & neonatal care in England. Vocal campaigners have catapulted Oxford University Hospitals Trust to the top of the investigation's agenda. We took a look at Oxfordshire's maternity care, the data, and the claims.

Oxfordshire’s maternity care
Many Clarion readers will have passed through the maternity ward of the John Radcliffe Hospital, whether as an infant or a parent. It is a place with which Oxfordshire, literally, has a familial bond....

Rural hospital leaders tell lawmakers standby pay, not rebuilds, can keep birthing units open
Munson Health and other witnesses told the committee that unpaid 24/7 obstetric on-call costs are the leading reason small hospitals close birthing units and urged the RHTP to include predictable standby funding (task-force recommendation: up to $500,000 annually per birthing hospital) to preserve access.
