The bundle has been rolled out across England to all trusts with full implementation by 104 out of 120 providers. All local maternity and neonatal systems have published Equity and Equality actions plans to tackle inequalities for women and babies from ethnic minorities and those living in the most deprived areas, tailored to the needs of the local area. A copy of the delivery plan is attached.</p><p>The Government is currently piloting a training programme to help avoid brain injury in childbirth to improve safety for mothers and their babies. If successful, national rollout is expected to commence next year.</p> answering member printed Baroness Merron question first answered 11/10/2024 13:28:22 answering member 347 label Biography information for Baroness Merron attachment 1 file name B1915-three-year-delivery-plan-for-maternity-and-neonatal-services-march-2023.pdf title Three year maternity plan
