Last month I announced the establishment of a Steering Group to advise on the development of a National Maternity Strategy. The Strategy will provide strategic direction for the optimal development of maternity services, to ensure that women have access to safe, high quality maternity care in a setting most appropriate to their needs. The Steering Group has wide representation across stakeholder groups, including service users and representatives of a range of specialties relating to maternity services.
