Recommendation 20
20
Set out how Government will monitor ICB investment and intervene in maternity services.
Recommendation
More broadly, the Government must ensure that maternity services continue to be a priority within ICB funding allocations. We ask the Government to set out in its response to this Report how it will monitor ICB investment in these services, including the impact of the removal of the ringfence if that decision is not reversed, and how it will intervene if it sees evidence that ICBs are underinvesting in maternity services. (Recommendation, Paragraph 92) 35
