The Maternity Disparities Taskforce was established in February 2022, to tackle disparities for mothers and babies and reduce maternal and neonatal deaths. The Taskforce brings together experts from across the health system, Government departments and the voluntary sector to explore and consider evidence-based interventions to tackle maternal disparities.  The Taskforce will be meeting again shortly.
