CCTV and monitoring

Recommendation

All cots and incubators in all neonatal units should be fitted with baby monitors (in-cot
cameras with livestreaming video), so that parents can observe their baby remotely at
any time. The funding for this should be centrally managed and ring-fenced, to ensure
consistency and implementation across all neonatal units at speed. By 31 March 2027, NHS
England should set out a roadmap for how this will be implemented.
