Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what recent assessment he has made of the adequacy of domestic support available to new mothers.

No recent assessment has been made. Domestic support can improve care management or resolve other concerns which may arise from becoming a new mother. This can include provision of information on self-care, signposting to other services, while targeted or specialist support should be provided as early as possible.
