Many women in this country do not receive an anomaly scan on the NHS, whilst many do. I think it is unfair that pregnant women are missing this vital service due to where they live, or being forced into paying in excess of £100 for the scan to be performed privately. This scan isn't abut wanting to see your baby; it is about identifying and diagnosing potential life threatening problems and I think it is unfair that local Health Authorities decide who can and cannot have the scan.
