Maternity Action

The Maternity Care Access Advice Service provides telephone and email advice and online information to help women get the maternity care they need, and to help women to understand and challenge charges for NHS care.

  • They provide advice to women, their friends and family, midwives, other health professionals, advice workers and community workers.
  • They assist women from abroad, migrants, refugees, asylum seekers, EU and EEA nationals and UK citizens.
  • They provide telephone interpreting.

All calls are free of charge. The service is confidential. We will not share your information with any other organisation or Government agency without your permission.

This number and online form are exclusively for questions on access to NHS maternity care. They are unable to answer questions on maternity rights at work and benefits. For these concerns, please contact their Maternity Rights Advice Line.
