More nurses, better care – Tories’ 10-year pledge on maternity services

More nurses, better care – Tories’ 10-year pledge on maternity services The health secretary says he wants Britain to be ‘the best place to give birth’ as he announces new plan

Ministers are to order an expansion of staff in maternity services and more recruitment of expert neonatal nurses and specialists in the hope of making the NHS “the best place in the world to give birth”, the health secretary Matt Hancock will say on Sunday.

The proposals will be contained in the government’s new 10-year plan for the NHS, expected to be published in the second week of January. Maternity services in England will undergo a digital revolution which will see every child’s health record – the so-called “red book” – made available on a parent’s phone.

We will ensure every expectant mother is supported: from pregnancy, to birth, to the critical first months of parenthood. The Guardian
