The Maternal Disparities Taskforce was established in February 2022, to tackle disparities for mothers and babies by improving access to effective pre-conception and maternity care for women from ethnic minorities and those living in the most deprived areas. The Taskforce has so far met three times with the third meeting taking place on 18 July 2022. A date for the next Taskforce meeting will be confirmed in due course.
