The UK government has admitted it will not meet its target of reducing the premature birthrate to 6% by 2025, with the rate currently standing at 7.9%. Officials say the rate of premature deliveries is increasing, and the NHS is likely to change its target. The government is also off-track with its target to halve the rate of stillbirths, neonatal deaths, and maternal deaths by 2025.
