Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Baroness Walmsley (Liberal Democrat). It was answered on Thursday, 17 November 2005.
HIV/AIDS
- Question
- My Lords, do the Government really want to put the lives of unborn babies at risk? I can hardly believe that they do. Is the Minister aware that midwives and physicians are becoming increasingly concerned that the new charging system introduced in April 2004 is acting as a deterrent to anti-retroviral treatment being given to HIV-positive pregnant women?
- Answer
-
My Lords, my understanding was that antenatal HIV screening has been one of our success stories. We have significantly reduced the mother-to-baby transmission of HIV. I shall certainly look into that and write to the noble Baroness.
