	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/09/2018 answer text <p>Currently, there are no plans to increase funding for new mothers' postnatal checks. However, Better Births, the report of the National Maternity Review, published in February 2016, outlined that better postnatal care was a key requirement for improved maternity services. It recommended that women should have access to their midwife and obstetrician as they require after having had their baby, as well as the need to ensure a smooth transition to on-going care in the community from their general practitioner and health visitor. Forty-four Local Maternity Systems (LMS) have come together across sustainability and transformation partnership footprints to lead the transformation of local maternity services in England, and are implementing plans to deliver the vision of Better Births, including the recommendations on better postnatal care. Additional national support will be provided to LMS by NHS England, which has convened an Expert Reference Group to advise on further opportunities make improvement in this important time for women and babies.</p> answering member constituency Thurrock answering member printed Jackie Doyle-Price question first answered 11/09/2018 10:51:02 answering member 4065 label Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/12/2018 answer text <p>NHS England commissioned a national review of adult eating disorder services in 2017, which is now complete. Data collected on activity, investment and workforce is being reviewed with stakeholders to inform NHS England’s understanding of current provision and existing levels of parity with eating disorder services for children and young people. The data is informing modelling to understand the finance and workforce gaps to achieving greater levels of parity.</p><p> </p><p>Diagnosing and treating eating disorders is an important area of medical practice. It is included within the curriculum for training all doctors, including for general practitioner (where most eating disorders initially present) and in more depth within training for psychiatry, particularly child and adolescent psychiatrists. This training equips doctors to identify the early potential symptoms of an eating disorder and help patients to discuss difficult issues.</p><p> </p><p>This Government recognises the importance of raising awareness and reducing stigma so that more people feel able to talk about their mental health, including eating disorders, and seek treatment. That is why in January 2017, the Prime Minister committed to having mental health first aid training available to secondary schools, aiming to have trained at least one teacher in every secondary school by 2020 and to all primary schools by 2022. This Government has also provided grant funding to the Time to Change national mental health anti-stigma campaign since 2012. Time to Change works with people with experience of mental health problems, including eating disorders, to challenge stigma and to improve social attitudes towards mental health.</p><p> </p><p>The Government has also committed to equip one million people to be better informed to look after their own mental health, so Public Health England is currently leading the development of a £15 million national mental health campaign called ‘Every Mind Matters’.</p> answering member constituency Thurrock answering member printed Jackie Doyle-Price grouped question UIN 198821 question first answered 12/12/2018 11:40:43 answering member 4065 label Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price
