The boss of Shrewsbury and Telford Trust has apologised to families after a leaked report revealed that an inquiry into baby deaths was now considering up to 800 cases, many alleging serious errors at the trust.
The review, which covers as far back as 1979, is being led by maternity expert Donna Ockenden.
The surge in new cases follows the leak of an interim report last week which said the deaths occurred amid a "toxic" culture stretching back 40 years.
Paula Clark, interim Chief Executive of SaTH said some families had suffered "life-changing situations".
She said the trust was "moving forward" but acknowledged it "wasn't there yet".
Despite that, she said a new culture of transparency was in place and staff would be held accountable for their actions.
