Midwives And Maternity Services (EDM293)

Midwives And Maternity Services

EDM number 293 in 2007-08, proposed by Don Foster on 19/11/2007.
Categorised under the topics of Children and families, Health services, Health staff and professions and Training.

That this House notes with concern the fall in the proportion of the NHS workforce made up of midwives and the fall in the number of places for student midwives; further notes that in response to NHS deficits, one in three hospitals have cut funds for maternity care yet the number of live births in England rose 12.5 per cent. between 2001 and 2006; and calls on the Government to provide sufficient funds so that women are supported by the same midwife throughout their pregnancy and have access to their choice of antenatal and postnatal care.

This motion has been signed by a total of 130 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
