Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what plans he has to increase access to Early Pregnancy Units for pregnant women experiencing emergencies.

In line with the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence’s guidelines, NHS England is working to improve the availability of scanning. This will ensure that regional services are organised so that an early pregnancy assessment service is available seven days a week for women with early pregnancy complications, where scanning can be carried out and decisions about management made.
