Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he is taking to ensure the current Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists guidelines Fetal Awareness Review of Research and Recommendations for Practice, published in 2010, are updated to reflect current research.

The Department does not set clinical practice. It is for the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists to consider whether to revise their guidelines, having looked at the available evidence.
