We cover a recent HSJ investigation into delayed inductions of labour and examine the broader challenges facing maternity services amid multiple inquiries and plunging Care Quality Commission ratings. 

Also more on why families whose babies died in the East Kent maternity scandal are still having to prove legal liability to get any compensation. 

With Annabelle Collins, Alison Moore and Emily Townsend.
