Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what guidance his Department has given NHS trusts on the use of Office for National Statistics population projections for service planning.
Answered by David Mowat
It is the responsibility of clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) to commission services to meet the needs of their populations, which will include services provided by National Health Service trusts and foundation trusts in most instances.
The NHS Operational Planning and Contractual Guidance (authored by NHS England and NHS Improvement) provides guidance for CCGs to help commissioning. The Department would expect commissioners to take a range of information into account including population projections.

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, if he will take steps to reduce the number of babies born in the back of an ambulance in England.
Answered by Philip Dunne
Better Births, the National Maternity Review, sets out our vision for maternity services across England to become safer, more personalised, kinder, professional and more family friendly; where every woman has access to information to enable her to make decisions about her care; and where she and her baby can access support that is centred around their individual needs and circumstances.
The National Maternity Transformation Programme, which seeks to advance the vision set out in Better Births, aims to ensure professionals work together across organisational boundaries to provide access to the right care in the right place at the right time within local maternity systems.
This will include work that will help to personalise women’s care and reduce unplanned events during pregnancy and labour.
