Maternity Services
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will take steps to issue neighbourhood health guidelines for maternal services.
Answered by Stephen Kinnock
While there are currently no plans to issues guidelines specifically for maternal services, we are developing guidance to provide greater clarity and consistency for systems in developing and scaling neighbourhood health.
We expect neighbourhood teams and services to be designed in a way that reflects the specific needs of local populations, and involve National Health Service, local authority, and voluntary sector services.
