Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether he has made an assessment of the potential implications for his policies of the Miscarriage Patient Charter, including Tommy’s Graded Model of Miscarriage Care, which is being implemented in Scotland.

Miscarriage can have a devastating impact on women and their families, and we are determined that they receive the support they need.

My Rt Hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, has not made a formal assessment of the Miscarriage Patient Charter. However, we will consider the available evidence as part of our broader work on miscarriage care, including the Tommy’s report on the Graded Model of Miscarriage Care, and the implementation of the Graded Model in Scotland.
