Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A former consultant who delivered David Cameron's youngest daughter is being investigated over the treatment he provided to more than 1,500 female patients in Cornwall.
A major probe has been launched into obstetrician Kenneth Jones, also known as Rob Jones, following concerns raised by staff at Royal Cornwall Hospital.
The Royal Cornwall Hospitals NHS Trust (RCHT) said that 1,574 gynaecological patients treated by the consultant over the last two-and-a-half years have been contacted by the hospital.
Lezli Boswell, chief executive of the trust, said that Mr Jones was no longer employed by the trust and had not worked at the hospital since May 2012.
Mr Jones delivered the Prime Minister's baby Florence Cameron in August 2010. Downing Street said last night that they were aware of the investigation, but that Samantha Cameron was not one of the women contacted as part of the probe.
