National Maternity and Neonatal Taskforce
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what governance arrangements will oversee the (a) reporting lines and (b) accountability mechanisms of the National Maternity and Neonatal Taskforce.
Answered by Karin Smyth
The Government is establishing a National Maternity and Neonatal Taskforce, chaired by my Rt Hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, and made up of a panel of experts as well as family, charity, and staff representatives. Bringing family voices to the heart of this work, the taskforce will co-produce a national plan to drive improvements across maternity and neonatal care.
The terms of reference are still under development with stakeholders and families, and will be released in due course.
