| Description | The Green Party has confirmed it will conduct a full review of its health policy, after concerns were raised over its pledge to reduce the number of medical interventions in childbirth.
The party’s health policy document said there has been a rise in caesarean sections, which it described as “expensive and, when not medically required, risky”.
A change to NHS culture is also proposed in the document, to ensure that “birth is treated as a normal and non-medical event”.
Green Party health spokesperson Dr Pallavi Devulapalli said there is “no intention to stop or reduce medical care provision during pregnancy and childbirth”. |
