Miscarriage: Scotland

Asked by Seamus LoganScottish National PartyDepartment of Health and Social CareTabled Answered 11 June 2026UIN 6675

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether he has made an assessment of the potential implications for his policies of the Miscarriage Patient Charter, including Tommy’s Graded Model of Miscarriage Care, which is being implemented in Scotland.

Answered by Mrs Sharon Hodgson

Miscarriage can have a devastating impact on women and their families, and we are determined that they receive the support they need.

My Rt Hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, has not made a formal assessment of the Miscarriage Patient Charter. However, we will consider the available evidence as part of our broader work on miscarriage care, including the Tommy’s report on the Graded Model of Miscarriage Care, and the implementation of the Graded Model in Scotland.
