This guide provides information for pregnant people seeking asylum in Scotland about the healthcare and financial support available to them.
It explains that all maternity care from the NHS, including midwife appointments, scans, hospital delivery, and postnatal support, is free and continues even if an asylum claim has been refused.
The guide also outlines the extra weekly payments for those receiving asylum support, including amounts for pregnancy and for children under three, as well as a one‑off £300 maternity payment per baby.
