The 'Five Year Forward View' (NHS England) calls for a radical upgrade in public health provision. Inequalities in maternal health may perpetuate general patterns of health inequalities across generations; therefore equitable access to general practice (GP) provision during maternity is important. This paper explores variation in GP consultation rates for disadvantaged mothers.
