Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, whether NICE has assessed the potential merits of producing guidance for managing delivery and birth in twin pregnancies; and if he will make a statement.
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence has advised that it recognises that there is a gap in its existing guidelines with regards to intrapartum care for multiple pregnancies and is considering the most appropriate approach as part of a wider review of all of its pregnancy guidelines.
