NHS at 75: What鈥檚 the story for maternity services?
Wednesday 5 July 2023 01:37, UK
On 5 July 1948, the NHS was born, promising post-War Britons health support from cradle to grave, free at the point of delivery.
Seventy-five years later, and with the service constantly under pressure, questions are being asked about how sustainable its future is.
In this episode of the Sky News Daily, Sally Lockwood spends time with staff, patients, and newborns on the maternity unit at Whittington Hospital in North London.
She examines how services have evolved over the last 75 years, the pressures on staff as they try to cope after lockdown, and what the future holds for one of Britian's most cherished creations.
