Maternity Services: Contraceptives

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment his Department has made of the potential merits of embedding routine and cross-system commissioning and provision of post-pregnancy contraception in post-partum care.

Answer

No assessment has been made.
