Proceeding contribution from Jeremy Hunt (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 28 November 2017. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Maternity Safety Strategy.


Maternity Safety Strategy

I am very happy to do that. Midwife-led units and home birthing are both part of the NHS maternity offer, but it is wrong to suggest that there is a conflict between patient safety and the choice made by mothers. No mother would ever actively make a choice to do something that was not the safest option for her and her child.
