York and Scarborough Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust needs £736,000 to meet new national maternity and neonatal care standards by March 2027.
The trust that runs York and Scarborough hospitals needs an estimated £736,000 to meet new national maternity and neonatal care requirements being introduced across England. Health bosses said delivery of the required improvements by March 2027 is currently 'at risk', citing workforce pressures, funding challenges and the scale of changes required.
NHS England recently introduced a Maternity and Neonatal 10 Point Plan, alongside new requirements including the Maternal Care Bundle and maternity triage standards. These were published for services across England in June. The new requirements were introduced following a series of national reviews into maternity and neonatal care.
According to the board report, compliance with some maternity triage standards currently stands at 58.7 per cent, with further work needed to meet the new national requirements. Director of Midwifery Sascha Wells-Munro said: 'Improving maternity and neonatal safety is a national priority, and all NHS trusts providing these services are being asked to implement further improvements following recent independent reviews of maternity care.'
