Belinda Phipps, chief executive of the National Childbirth Trust confirmed that the charity would be on the steering committee to design the pilots of the new antenatal classes.
The child health strategy was published by the Department for Health and Department for Children, Schools and Families and holds out the prospect of more health visitors based in children's centres and a Healthy Child Programme that will set out the services parents can expect to improve their child's health.
