Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to the NHS Long Term Plan and NHS Planning Guidance commitments for 2019-20, what progress his Department has made on rolling out the Saving Babies Lives Care Bundle across every maternity unit in England in 2019; and if he will make a statement.
The first version of the Saving Babies’ Lives Care Bundle has been rolled out and every maternity trust in England has implemented one or more of its four elements. At least 45% of trusts are fully implementing all requirements.
