Health: Hormone Pregnancy Tests

Debate between Baroness Deech and Lord Prior of Brampton

Thursday 21st January 2016 Lords Chamber

[Lord Prior of Brampton]

All I can do is entirely agree with what my noble friend says. That must be right.

[Baroness Deech (CB)]

My Lords, there has been great fuss about the Prime Minister’s wish to ensure that all women, particularly Muslim women, learn English. What steps can the Government take to make sure that all pregnant women receive directly the medical advice that they need during pregnancy?

[Lord Prior of Brampton]

Much advice is available on NHS Choices and elsewhere. Clearly, GPs have a primary responsibility in giving initial advice to women, of whatever nationality, when they become pregnant.
