answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/12/2018 answer text <p>It is the Government’s ambition to halve the 2010 rates of stillbirths, neonatal and maternal deaths and brain injuries that occur during or soon after birth by 2025 and to achieve at least a 20% reduction in these rates by 2020.</p><p> </p><p>The stillbirth rate in England fell from 5.1 to 4.1 per 1,000 births between 2010 and 2017, representing a decrease of almost 20% and 827 fewer stillbirths. We currently have the lowest stillbirth rate on record.</p><p> </p><p>A 20% decrease in stillbirth rates was recorded by early adopters of the Saving Babies’ Lives Care Bundle. All maternity units are now implementing elements of the Care Bundle and there are plans to expand its scope to include other clinical interventions.</p><p> </p><p>We are improving investigations into term stillbirths, early neonatal deaths and other adverse outcomes, with investigations being undertaken by the independent Healthcare Safety Investigations Branch, identifying what went wrong and capturing the lessons learned.</p><p> </p><p>Alongside the Welsh and Scottish Health Departments, we have also funded the Perinatal Mortality Review Tool, launched in 2018. All trusts have now registered to use this tool.</p><p> </p><p>Additionally, the Department of Health and Social Care and the Ministry of Justice are working together to look into whether the law should be changed to expand coronial jurisdiction to stillbirths with the intention that this may help ensure that important lessons are learnt to prevent future deaths.</p> answering member constituency Thurrock answering member printed Jackie Doyle-Price question first answered 21/12/2018 13:27:40 answering member 4065 label Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of NHS England's estimate that 600 stillbirths could be prevented annually as a result of implementation of the Saving Babies' Lives Care Bundle; and whether any such assessment has taken account of the failure to include within the Saving Babies' Lives Care Bundle a specific element on twin and multiple births and the higher rates of mortality that occur in twin and multiple births.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/12/2018 answer text <p>The Department welcomes the independent Saving Babies’ Lives Project Impact and Results Evaluation (SPiRE), published earlier this year and commissioned by NHS England.</p><p>The report found that maternity staff have helped save more than 160 babies’ lives across 19 maternity units where the Saving Babies Lives Care Bundle had been implemented. The best practice guidance is now being introduced across the country and has the potential if these findings were replicated, to prevent an estimated 600 stillbirths.</p><p>In 2017, the Department funded the Twins and Multiple Births Association’s Maternity Engagement Project. The results from the interim report suggest that increased adherence to National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidance gave better outcomes for multiple births. This further reinforces the Department’s expectation that all health professionals working with multiple pregnancies adhere to the relevant NICE guidance.</p><p> </p><p>We look forward to reviewing the final project report, which we understand is due for publication in mid-2019.</p> answering member printed Lord O'Shaughnessy question first answered 10/12/2018 14:47:37 answering member 4545 label Biography information for Lord O'Shaughnessy
