Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what discussions he has had with NHS England on standardising miscarriage care pathways across England.

No discussions on this issue have taken place to date between NHS England and my Rt Hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care. However, we remain committed to driving improvement in the care received by women and families through the pending national action plan, overseen by the Government’s maternity and neonatal taskforce.

We welcome the report from Tommy’s Miscarriage Centre at Birmingham Women and Children’s Hospital on the effectiveness of their graded model of sporadic or recurrent miscarriage care pilot. In the Women’s Health Strategy, we have committed to carefully considering their findings, working closely with our partners.
