Health and Social Care

Proceeding contribution from Kate Green (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 16 January 2020. It occurred during Queen's speech debate on Health and Social Care.

A few moments ago the Secretary of State spoke about scaremongering. Has he had a chance to look at early-day motion 56, which highlights one group of patients who are scared? Pregnant migrant women face charges for their maternity care, and it is believed that two or three women might even have died as a result of their fear of going for treatment, because they did not know how to

pay for it. Will the Secretary of State consider suspending those charges and conduct a proper review of the public health impact of that charging regime?
