Further, their campaigning led to West Mercia Police instigating Operation Lincoln into both individual and corporate gross negligence manslaughter at Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust.
[3] Davies and Stanton made formal complaints to the trust, the West Midlands Ambulance Service and the Nursing and Midwifery Council.
[1] They then secured the Health Service Ombudsman's attention to the case after Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust refused to accept the findings of the inquest.
It concluded that the trust was "indebted" to the tenacity of Davies and Stanton, and needed to work in partnership with them "to establish a fitting acknowledgement of the contribution they have made to the safety and quality of maternity services at SaTH".
[6] Davies and Stanton were both appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 2023 Birthday Honours for services to maternity healthcare,[7][8] along with fellow campaigners Colin and Kayleigh Griffiths,[9] whose baby daughter Pippa died under the care of Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust in 2016.
