Stafford MP's Birth Trauma Inquiry Receives 'Overwhelming' Response
An inquiry into birth trauma led by MPs Theo Clarke and Rosie Duffield has received over 1,300 submissions, aiming to address the estimated 30,000 women in the UK who suffer negative experiences during childbirth, with one in 20 developing post-traumatic stress disorder. The initiative, triggered by Conservative MP Theo Clarke, has garnered an "overwhelming" response, including accounts dating back to the 1960s. The inquiry, administered by the Birth Trauma Association, aims to improve maternity services and is expected to report its findings in April.
