All Party Parliamentary Group on Maternity

The annual reception gives us the opportunity to highlight areas of good practice around the country and for the winners to be presented with their awards at the House of Commons. This year's awards were presented by Anne Milton MP, Minister for Public Health, Dr.Daniel Poulter MP, new chair of the APPG, and Prof. Rona McCandlish, from the Department of Health.

This year the APPG on Maternity presented awards for:

  • Inclusive services for disadvantaged groups and communities
  • Normal birth
  • Responsive, woman centred, family focused postnatal care
  • Tailoring services to meet the needs of fathers 
  • Involvement of women in improving local maternity services

We would like to thank all nominees for entering the awards this year, and would also like to thank them for the important work that they do in providing such vital services for parents and childrens in their communities. 

The All-Party Parliamentary Group on Maternity (APPGM) is a cross-party
group of politicians whose aim is to raise the profile of maternity issues
within the Houses of Parliament.
