answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/04/2019 answer text <p>The Church of England provides a wide range of pastoral care through its national network of 12,600 parishes and 18,000 active ordained clergy assisted by 10,000 licensed lay ministers. This care is offered to all regardless of Church affiliation or religious belief. The most effective pastoral care builds a relationship through which a person can be accompanied through difficult situations - rather than offering a service in which the person becomes the client.</p><p>Pastoral care at parish level is extended to women with unwanted pregnancies on the basis that ‘<em>Every possible support, especially by Church members, needs to be given to those who are pregnant in difficult circumstances and care, support and compassion must be shown to all whether or not they continue with their pregnancy.</em>’ (General Synod July 2017: written answer was given by the Chair of Mission and Public Affairs Council in response to a question on the 50<sup>th</sup> anniversary of the 1967 Abortion Act).</p> answering member constituency Meriden answering member printed Dame Caroline Spelman question first answered 08/04/2019 15:57:11 answering member 312 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Spelman

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/09/2017 answer text <p>The Government is committed to ensuring that mothers are properly supported following childbirth with their general and mental health.</p><p>We are committed to improving maternity outcomes and experience of care for women and babies, as set out in Safer Maternity Care: next steps towards the national maternity ambition, published in October 2016. This should start before childbirth and the Government is supporting the Our Chance campaign to support women to understand advice about healthy pregnancies and how to act on it.</p><p>The National Institute for Care and Excellence has published quality standards on postnatal care, which includes the core care and support that every woman, their baby and if appropriate, their partner and family should receive during the postnatal period. This includes recognising women and babies with additional care needs and referring them to specialist services as required.</p><p>Evidence shows that the six-eight week appointment is a particularly crucial element of postnatal care. Better Births, the report of the National Maternity Review, states that the check should include assessing:</p><p> </p><p>- how a woman has made the transition to motherhood, including her mental health;</p><p>- her recovery from the birth, using direct questions about common morbidities;</p><p>- longer term health risks for any morbidity identified; and</p><p>- any further help she might need whether connected with the birth or not; and what advice she might need about future family planning.</p><p>The Department has invested £365 million from 2015/16 to 2020/21 in perinatal mental health services, and NHS England is leading a transformation programme to ensure that by 2020/21 at least 30,000 more women each year are able to access evidence-based specialist mental health care during the perinatal period. This includes work to increase awareness and skills across the workforce, supporting better identification of perinatal mental illness, early intervention and consequently improved recovery rates.</p> answering member constituency Ludlow answering member printed Mr Philip Dunne question first answered 11/09/2017 14:44:11 answering member 1542 label Biography information for Philip Dunne
