Campaigners who have shared their experiences on maternity services in Oxfordshire are "extremely disappointed" in today's landmark report.
Baroness Amos' report explored Oxford University Hospitals Trust's failures at the maternity units in the John Radcliffe and Horton Hospital in Banbury.
It touched on families being let down, staff difficulties, a culture of ignoring national guidelines and more.

But the campaign group Families Failed by OUH have said families who helped in the investigation "have not been listened to".
A spokeswoman for the group said: “We are extremely disappointed in the Amos review.
"Many of our members shared their painful experiences in the belief that they would be listened to and that their stories would make a difference.
"Instead, we find that the report ignores those experiences, making no mention of forceps, of birth injuries such as perineal tears, of bladder damage or incontinence, of cerebral palsy or brain-damaged babies.
"There is very little about the denial of pain relief, despite it being a subject raised time and time again.
"The review doesn’t mention the psychological harm resulting from poor maternity care, such as depression or PTSD.
"Instead it spends more time, certainly in the case of Oxford, on the experiences of staff than those of families permanently harmed by the poor care they received at OUH.
"Today, the families who thought their voices would be heard are devastated. We are all shocked that, once more, parents have not been listened to."
