Recommendation 7

7 Paragraph: 56

Implement immediate recruitment and retention actions in maternity services for positive birthing experiences.

Recommendation
Maternity services in England and Wales are under unsustainable pressure. We welcome the commitments that the Government has made in response to the Ockenden report, whilst recognising that these changes will come too late for some mothers and babies. The Government must intervene with immediate action on recruitment and retention to relive pressure from the system and ensure positive birthing experiences for everyone, regardless of their racial or socioeconomic background.
