In an announcement, he will unveil the government's intention to look closely into enabling, for the first time, full-term stillbirths to be covered by coronial law.
This will meant that families who suffer the trauma of stillbirth or life changing injuries to their babies will be offered an independent investigation to find out what went wrong and why.
The government is also setting out to halve the rates of stillbirths, neonatal and maternal deaths and brain injuries occurring during or soon or after birth by 2025, bringing forward their target, which was previously set for 2030 – a move which would save more than 4,000 thousand lives.
The Health Secretary aims to reduce the rate of premature births from 8% to 6% by 2025.
He said the government will also work to support the RCM and RCOG's Each Baby Counts Learn and Support programme to reduce the number of babies who die or are left severely disabled as a result of incidents occurring during labour.
A new e-learning programme will also be launched to help healthcare professionals improve outcomes for babies, mothers and families through the delivery of safer care.
The Health Secretary is expected to say: "The tragic death or life changing injury of a baby is something no parent should have to bear, but one thing that can help in these agonising circumstances is getting honest answers quickly from an independent investigator. Too many families have been denied this in the past, adding unnecessarily to the pain of their loss.
"Countless mothers and fathers who have suffered like this say that the most important outcome for them is making sure lessons are learnt so that no-one else has to endure the same heartbreak. These important changes will help us to make that promise in the future."
