Recently, I had a useful discussion about maternity services and the rules around birthing partners owing to Coronavirus. This is obviously an important matter for those expecting babies and their partners and I appreciate the sensitivity around this and the need to get it right. These are massively important moments in people’s lives and whilst the health of mother and baby must always be at the forefront, I was interested to understand more about this and am raising a number of local concerns with Kettering General Hospital and with Ministers. I also recently published an open letter in response to several campaign emails I have received on this subject, which you can find, here: https://tinyurl.com/y5po3q32.
