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 against the commitment to ensure that 100,000 women are able to access their maternity record digitally in 2019-20; and if he will make a statement.
So far, 73,000 women have been offered access to digital maternity care records across 15 live pilot sites. The National Health Service is on track to meet the commitment of 100,000 women by the end of 2019-20.
