The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what his planned timetable is for publishing the Maternity and Neonatal Estates Review.

Answered by Karin Smyth

NHS England will publish the findings of the National Health Service maternity and neonatal estates survey, which examined compliance against the current standards for estates, including the requirements of neonatal parental accommodation. The Government’s response to the House of Lords Pre-term Birth Inquiry committed to publishing the survey in early 2025, and the ambition remains to publish it as soon as possible.
