Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will take steps to help ensure that every parent has access to free ante natal classes.
Decisions on provision and access to antenatal classes should be decided locally, considering the needs of the local population. The National Health Service has published guidance for parents which can be found at the following link: https://www.nhs.uk/pregnancy/labour-and-birth/preparing-for-the-birth/antenatal-classes/.
