In 2022, we have invested an additional £127 million in the National Health Service maternity workforce and improving neonatal care. This is further to the £95 million invested in 2021 to fund an additional 1,200 midwives and 100 consultant obstetricians. The NHS People Plan also aims to improve working conditions for staff through flexible working and supporting an inclusive and compassionate workplace culture.
