Make the nhs routinely screen for GBS

Additional Information

Screening for GBS is not recommended by the UK National Screening Committee nor the Royal College of Obstetricians & Gynaecologists .An antenatal screening program, using tests specifically designed to detect group B Strep carriage, would identify more women whose babies are at increased risk of GBS infection than using risk factors alone. Research shows that as a result of these additional cases being prevented, this could save the government an estimated £37 million per year.
