The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the adequacy of access to miscarriage investigation and support services for patients in the Chichester constituency.

Answered by Preet Kaur Gill

No assessment has been made of the adequacy of access to miscarriage services in the Chichester constituency.

The University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust operates a recurrent miscarriage clinic across all its sites, including at St Richard’s Hospital in Chichester.

The recurrent miscarriage service is delivered as part of the trust’s gynaecology outpatient pathway, and patients are referred via their general practice and triaged to the most appropriate clinic and site within the trust. The recurrent miscarriage service is typically available for patients who have experienced recurrent miscarriage as per National Institute for Health and Care Excellence guidelines, but in practice, referral decisions may also consider clinical judgement and individual risk factors.
