Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of potential merits of offering a third trimester scan to pregnant women as a measure to reduce the number of still-births.

The UK National Screening Committee is considering evidence to use screening in an effort to reduce stillbirth. A review document will be publicly consulted on later in the year. Information and how to participate in the consultation will be made available at:
