G8 Summit And Child Maternal Health

EDM number 227 in 2010-12, proposed by Tony Baldry on 15/06/2010.
Categorised under the topic of Health services.

That this House welcomes the Prime Minister's announcement that the Government will prioritise maternal health at the forthcoming G8 summit, but wishes to ensure that attention to the survival of children under five years old goes hand-in-hand with initiatives on maternal health; and calls on donor governments like the UK to judge the success of their development policies by their impact in lowering maternal and child mortality rates and to promote strategies that do so.

This motion has been signed by a total of 33 MPs.
