Government rejects targets to reduce Black maternal deaths Black women are four times more likely to die from childbirth, according to data by LeahMahon_
STEVE BARCLAY, the Health Secretary, has rejected setting targets to reduce Black maternal death rates.
The committee’s Black Maternal Health report outlined multiple proposals to combat the racial disparities, however the government response said the concrete target “does not necessarily focus resource and attention through the best mechanisms”.The MPs were alarmed at “appalling” racial and other disparities in maternal deaths.
They partially accepted one of the Committee’s recommendations and said NHS England will “carry out a scoping exercise” on a review of training curricula and continuing professional development requirements for all maternity staff.The recommendation to increase the annual budget for maternity services to £200–350 million was also backed by the Health and Social Care Committee.
The Committee hit back at the Government decision to ultimately not set racial targets and accused NHS leadership of underestimating the extent to which racism plays a role in perpetuating inequalities.
