Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will launch a new National Maternity Safety Ambition.

The National Maternity Safety Ambition was launched in 2015 and will end in 2025. As part of our consultation on the 10-year health plan, we will first consider the best ways to improve maternity safety so that the NHS has the tools it needs to deliver improved safety outcomes for women and their babies and to meet any associated targets.
