The MNSI programme was established in 2018 as part of the Government's national strategy to improve maternity and newborn safety across the NHS in England.

Since launch, MNSI has carried out more than 4,600 investigations into maternity and newborn safety events.

Sandy Lewis, MNSI programme director, said: ‘Our investigations are rooted in the experiences of families affected by harm or loss, and it is their contribution that drives the learning and improvement our work generates.

‘Since 2018, MNSI has built a substantial and growing evidence base through more than 4,600 investigations, and our 2025–27 strategy sets out an ambitious framework for how we develop that work further.

‘Continuation to 2030 means we can deliver our strategy in full, develop our investigative approach further, and ensure that the experiences of women, babies and families remain central to driving system-wide improvement.'
