Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Maria Caulfield and Paul Maynard

Wednesday 11th March 2020 Commons Chamber

[Maria Caulfield]

Through the long-term plan, the NHS will accelerate action to achieve 50% reductions in stillbirths, maternal mortality, neonatal mortality and serious brain injury by 2025, which specifically affect those women the most.

[Paul Maynard (Blackpool North and Cleveleys) (Con)]
