Context
The NHS faces additional infection control measures that create barriers to parents spending time with their babies in special care baby units.
Question
With the need for additional infection control measures, how can the Secretary of State ensure sufficient staff to support parents to spend time with their babies in special care baby units, when COVID-19 is creating additional barriers to parents being with their baby as much as they want and need to be? Moreover, will he look at an emergency form of neonatal leave and pay, or a subsistence fund similar to Scotland's, to allow parents affected by COVID-19 to have the time they need with their baby?
Answer from The Secretary of State for Health and Social Care (Matthew Hancock)
We are putting in a huge amount of support for maternity services and other services across the NHS in England. Of course, when it comes to the hon. Gentleman's constituents in Glasgow, he will have to ask the SNP Government.
