Written Question
Mental Health Services: Fathers
Tuesday 29th June 2021

Asked by: Cherilyn Mackrory (Conservative - Truro and Falmouth)

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what estimate he has made of the number of fathers or partners bereaved by the death of a baby that are projected to receive support by the end of March 2022 from the new maternal mental health hubs announced in April 2021.

We have made no such estimate. Partners of women accessing care will be offered an evidence-based assessment and signposted to support, in line with the NHS Long Term Plan commitment for perinatal mental health services.

We are expanding access to psychological therapies within specialist perinatal mental health services so that they include couple, co-parenting and family interventions.
