Postpartum Haemorrhage: Slough
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many instances of postpartum haemorrhage occurred in Slough constituency in each of the last five years.
Answered by Preet Kaur Gill
While data is not available for Slough alone, in 2025, there were 280 reported cases of postpartum haemorrhage of 1,500 millilitres or more at the Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust, which serves patients in Slough and the wider area.
Annual trust data on reported postpartum haemorrhages of 1,500 millilitres or more between 2022 and 2025 is available at the following link:

The reported data may not represent all postpartum haemorrhages of 1,500 millilitres or more due to variations in data quality between trusts and over time. Monthly data back to April 2019, including more detailed information on data quality, is available at the following link:
To tackle leading causes of maternal mortality and morbidity, we have launched a Maternal Care Bundle to set clear standards across all services, focused on the main causes of maternal death and harm. It will codify best practice already in use and support more consistent care, and we expect it to help reduce deaths and serious harm, especially among higher-risk groups, as well as reduce inequalities in maternal mortality.
