Announcement due from @wesstreeting on a national investigation into maternity. Parents rightly deserve investigations into their cases but any action that fails to look at the national policy drivers set by @NHSEngland / DHSC etc since 2000 will not tell the whole story

At the @CommonsHealth session on Black Maternal Health, I asked the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Patient Safety, Women’s Health, and Mental Health about the slow progress of initiatives to improve maternal health outcomes.

At today’s second @CommonsHealth session on Black Maternal Health, I asked Janet Fayle MBE of @MidwivesRCM about culturally sensitive training, ensuring proper funding is key to delivering the necessary support for Black women.
