Yvette Cooper's plan specifically mentions tackling racial inequalities in maternity care. This acknowledges that women from certain racial backgrounds often experience worse outcomes or receive poorer quality care compared to others. Reintroducing national standards aims to ensure that all women, regardless of their race, receive equitable and high-quality treatment across the NHS.
