At the end of the postnatal period, the coordinating healthcare professional should ensure that the woman’s physical, emotional and social wellbeing is reviewed. NHS England and NHS Improvement are reviewing the available evidence to establish a clearer picture of current practice in this area.</p><p> </p><p>A decision on whether to specifically include a six-week postnatal maternal health check in negotiations for changes to the 2020-21 contract has not yet been taken.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Mid Bedfordshire answering member printed Ms Nadine Dorries question first answered 04/02/2020 16:48:07 answering member 1481 label Biography information for Ms Nadine Dorries
