Written Question · S3W-09491 · Session 3
Whether it plans to update the framework governing the provision of maternity services in Scotland.
The question
To ask the Scottish Executive whether it plans to update the framework governing the provision of maternity services in Scotland.
The answer
The Maternity Services Action Group is currently reviewing and updating the national maternity policy set out in The Framework for Maternity Services (2001) and the subsequent Expert Group on Acute Maternity Services (2002). We remain committed to the provision of women and family-centred services within a network of care, with the bulk of that care being offered as locally as possible by clinically competent professionals.
