Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department is taking to provide secure indoor spaces for new mothers outside of private dwellings in areas of Tier 3 covid-19 restrictions.

The Government recognises the importance of parent and baby groups for new mothers. We have provided updated guidance for businesses and community centres to continue to provide access in a COVID-19 secure manner. The guidance ensures these groups can continue to meet and provide new mothers the support they need.
