Reducing the impact of maternal mental health problems during pregnancy and the first two years of life is important for infant mental health and future adolescent and adult mental health.</p><p> </p><p>The NHS Long Term Plan includes a commitment for a further 24,000 women to be able to access specialist perinatal mental health care by 2023/24, building on the additional 30,000 women who will access these services each year by 2020/21 under pre-existing plans.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Mid Bedfordshire answering member printed Ms Nadine Dorries question first answered 28/10/2019 16:36:21 answering member 1481 label Biography information for Ms Nadine Dorries
