Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether his Department has issued guidance to NHS Trusts on the provision of fit-to-fly certificates for pregnant women.

The Department has not made an assessment of the potential impact of charges associated with obtaining fit-to-fly certificates during pregnancy on patients.

There are currently no plans to issue guidance to National Health Service trusts on the provision of fit-to-fly certificates for pregnant women.
