Minister 'sorry' over maternity failings report

The parliamentary inquiry into birth trauma is calling for a national plan to improve maternity care, as it claimed women are often "treated as an inconvenience".

Health minister Maria Caulfield said that maternity services "have not been where we want them to be" when she was challenged about the findings of the report.

The all-party inquiry, led by Conservative MP Theo Clarke and Labour MP Rosie Duffield, called for the creation of a maternity commissioner reporting to the prime minister.

Ms Clarke, who pushed for the inquiry after saying in Parliament that she felt she was going to die after giving birth in 2022, said there is an unacceptable "postcode lottery on maternity services".
