Great to see this book about the history of the UK Confidential Enquiry into Maternal Deaths published today... "shows how significant advances in maternal healthcare are possible when clinicians, politicians and the public work together." Still lots to do.

“To suggest that maternity services should be deprioritised by the NHS at a time when countless reports have referenced a lack of Government investment and attention is at best foolish and at worst negligent.

Congratulations all! Great news.

[NHS Million @NHSMillion]

This BBC graph shows the incredibly low investment in the NHS by the Government from 2010 to the pandemic

It’s a major reason why we had 100,000 staff shortages in early 2020

And why there were millions on waiting lists even then

Please RT so everyone can be clear
