Maternity Services: Closures
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many maternity units had temporary closures in each year since 2020; where those units were located; and how long each closure lasted.

We do not hold this data centrally. National Health Service commissioning bodies, such as integrated care boards, are responsible for the delivery, implementation, and funding decisions for local services. This makes sure that decisions are made locally and tailored to local population needs.
