Proceeding contribution from Stephen Crabb (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 26 November 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Health and Social Care Bill.

Health and Social Care Bill

I will go into this issue in a little more detail shortly, but where is the evidence to suggest that absolutely all women need assistance from the state in making good choices about their diet and lifestyle in pregnancy? Surely the priority should be targeting limited resources on those in most need. The evidence to suggest that such a crude, untargeted payment after the 25th week of pregnancy will lead to better dietary choices on the part of mothers, and therefore to better health outcomes for babies, is simply non-existent.
