The government must act now to ensure that hospital and maternity staff are safe and that they are able to reach women and birthing people in their communities.
We urge NHS Trusts to proactively reach out to women and birthing people in their communities about their plans to ensure continued access to care. This means taking extra steps to get maternity teams out to people in their homes and helping women and birthing people to reach hospitals and birthing centres safely, without harm.
