Maternity and neonatal commissioner
The government is taking steps in response to Baroness Amos’ independent investigation into maternity and neonatal services – including the creation of a maternity and neonatal commissioner. The new commissioner will provide independent leadership to hold the system to account, drive change and rebuild trust, co-chairing the National Maternity and Neonatal Taskforce with the secretary of state. The commissioner will ensure the voices of women are always heard by those at the heart of the system.
