T7. This week, Professor Susan Ayers launches her report, “The Cost of Birth Trauma”, in Parliament. It is a first, as it goes beyond the more obvious health and social care implications, and follows the 2024 inquiry by the all-party parliamentary group on birth trauma. Lifelong care, litigation and the impact on the workplace come at a high price, as, of course, do many other women’s health scandals, such as the sodium valproate issue. Will the relevant Minister or the Chancellor read Susan Ayers’ report and meet me and the professor to discuss it?
