Speaking in the House of Lords on 18 May 2026

Debate

Miscarriage Care

Contribution

My Lords, it is widely reported that maternity services are in crisis—in fact, an inquiry is ongoing. Could it be that women suffering from miscarriage get less priority when maternity services are overstretched and as busy as they could possibly be, as we have read? Would it not be better if maternity services were improved once we get the result of the inquiry? Then there would be time and more patience to deal with the women suffering miscarriages, who are probably in the same area of the hospital as the maternity wards.
