Labour is to launch its Health Manifesto which it says will "put personalised care at its heart". The manifesto will include a new 'Call the Midwife' pledge:

  • Guaranteed personalised one-to-one care from a midwife for every woman during labour and childbirth

  • This guarantee will enshrined in the NHS constitution

  • A plan to make this guarantee a reality by providing 3,000 new midwives, through our fully-funded £2.5bn Time to Care Fund.
