NHSE leaders in Dec 23 said that there were added.
There are 400 fewer beds now than when he made that announcement!

Utterly devastating news. A great colleague, mentor, and friend. Hard to believe we won’t be hearing his laughter on our delivery suite again. A champion of maternity safety, who lived out his belief that everyone was important and everyone has a part to play in keeping women and their babies safe.

It is with deep sadness that we are sharing the news of the death of Professor Tim Draycott, MD, BSc, MBBS, FRCOG. Tim died peacefully on Monday 24 November following a sudden illness.
