Today, the largest review of it's kind in NHS history has found major failings in maternity care at a hospital trust in Nottingham. The report found that hundreds of babies and mothers died or were harmed due to the 鈥渄eep-rooted, systemic failures鈥�.

Leaders at the Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust have apologised, and the Health Secretary says the government will respond by taking 鈥渋mmediate steps鈥�.

Adam is joined by Social Affairs Correspondent Michael Buchanan.

Plus, Helen MacNamara, former top civil servant, discusses how Team Burnham seems to be preparing for his increasingly likely premiership.
