Tulip Siddiq (Hampstead and Highgate) (Lab)
I thank the Minister for his statement and echo his sentiments and worries about the escalating violence in the region. He will be aware of the chronic underfunding of health facilities there, particularly maternity services and newborn care facilities. There are worrying reports of pregnant women losing their lives as they are shuttled between hospitals because of inadequate medical supplies. What conversations is he having with the interim Government about the health provision in the region, particularly women’s health provision?
Mr Falconer
We have had initial conversations with the interim Administration about some more practical questions around social services. I am happy to write to my hon. Friend with further details.
