Conservative — Bridgwater

Speaking in the House of Commons on 3 June 2025

Debate

Yeovil Hospital: Maternity Unit

Contribution

I am grateful to the hon. Member for securing this important debate. Many women in my constituency choose to give birth in Musgrove Park hospital, and with the closure at Yeovil—where, as he said, 1,200 babies are born each year—there is a grave concern about whether Taunton will have the capacity to cope. In fact, mothers across Somerset will suffer as a result of this closure.
