Question
Will the Minister commit to extend the provision for the perinatal mental health network and national clinical lead beyond March 2022, to facilitate further progress in perinatal mental health care?
Answer
Answered by Deputy Minister for Mental Health and Wellbeing
Delivering improvements across perinatal mental health services is a key priority in our refreshed Mental Health Delivery Plan. I recognise the importance of the perinatal mental health network and the national clinical lead in supporting these improvements and I confirm that we will support this where there is work still to do beyond March 2022.
