The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether his Department is considering changes to miscarriage care pathways, including earlier access to investigations and support for people who experience miscarriage.

Answered by Preet Kaur Gill

We are committed to improving the care received by women and families through the pending maternity and neonatal national action plan, overseen by the Government’s National Maternity and Neonatal Taskforce.

We welcome the report on the Tommy’s Graded Model of Miscarriage Care pilot study at Birmingham Women and Children’s Hospital. As set out in the Women’s Health Strategy, will carefully consider the findings presented in the Tommy’s report as part of our broader work on miscarriage care.
