Maternity Action, a newly established, national voluntary organisation working to end inequality and promote the health and well-being of all pregnant women, their partners and children from before conception through to the child`s early years, has launched a new website - www.maternityaction.org.uk

Responding the NHS`s East of England consultation, "Towards the best, together", a "vision" document answering the Darzi Review, Pat Gould, the Royal College of Midwives` team manager for Eastern, London and South Eastern regions, said: "We welcome many of the report`s recommendations believe and truly believe that this consultation document is a timely contribution to the debate about the future of maternity services in the East of England. The College agrees with the premise that healthcare in the region needs to change and nowhere is this more relevant than in relation to maternity and newborn care."
