Nhs Maternity Services (EDM1112)

Nhs Maternity Services

EDM number 1112 in 2007-08, proposed by Harry Cohen on 04/03/2008.
Categorised under the topic of Health services.

That this House is concerned by the Â£55 million fall in spending on NHS maternity services in the last financial year; notes with concern that the share of the NHS budget spent on maternity services fell from 3 per cent. to 2 per cent. between 1997-98 and 2006-07; is worried that this has happened despite the number of births in England rising by 13 per cent. over the last five years to stand at the highest level since 1993; welcomes the commitment by the Department of Health to increase the NHS maternity services budget by Â£122 million by 2010-11; recognises however that the deadline for delivering on the ambitious and much-needed guarantees made in the Maternity Matters strategy is the end of 2009; and therefore urges the Government to announce in the forthcoming budget an additional, immediate and substantial step change in funding for NHS maternity services.

This motion has been signed by a total of 41 MPs.
