We welcome the framework for reintroducing access for partners and visitors to antenatal and postnatal appointments, including pregnancy scans. This is a positive step for the health and wellbeing of pregnant women and will provide much-needed clarity for maternity staff.

New @ONS data shows stillbirth rates have reduced by a quarter (25%) from 2010-2020. While positive, there is still more to be done to continue to reduce stillbirth and neonatal deaths and make maternity care safer. We will continue to work with @MidwivesRCM to improve outcomes.

The results of the @MidwivesRCM survey are incredibly worrying. Safe maternity care relies on a workforce that feels supported and empowered, but this shines a light on the daily challenges midwives are facing. We urgently need sustained funding to address staff shortages.
