Manchester’s major women, children and baby hospital has been issued a warning after serious concerns about ‘not operating effectively to protect’ patients, not providing treatment quickly enough, and not having enough ‘skilled and experienced’ staff on duty to prevent risks.
Saint Mary’s Hospital, based on Oxford Road in Manchester city centre, has been under scrutiny by the health watchdog, the Care Quality Commission (CQC). The watchdog found significant issues during an inspection of the hospital’s maternity services between March 7 and 9, 2023.

“The service did not facilitate timely access to appropriate treatment and birth settings for women, birthing people and newborns. The service did not always have enough sufficiently skilled and experienced midwifery and medical staff to appropriately assess and care for women and birthing people and mitigate risks in a timely manner.”
