Ministers told to scrap ‘deeply flawed’ NHS charging policy The government’s “deeply flawed” policy of charging migrant women for maternity care is putting lives at risk, a national charity has warned.
Maternity Action has called on the government to scrap charges for maternity care, which can land vulnerable women with bills of at least £7,000.
The charity, which launched a judicial review of the policy in October claiming it was discriminatory, spoke out after The Independent revealed three women died from complications after delaying treatment because of fears they might be charged.
