Funding for maternity services
February 22, 2008
Following January’s announcement that maternity services in England are to receive £330 million in extra funding over the next three years, Ann Keen Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Health has stated that Trusts will have access to this money in April. The extra funding was announced in response to the Healthcare Commission review of maternity services which found a startling North South divide in the quality of maternity services provision with 70 per cent of London Trusts being rated “least well performing”.
