Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, how much of the £290 million funding announced in January 2016 for perinatal mental health has been allocated; and if he will provide a full breakdown of the allocations from that fund made to date.
In January 2016 the Government set out that an additional £290 million would be made available over the next five years to 2020/21 to invest in perinatal mental health services. A full breakdown of the allocations is not currently available.
The Department does not hold data on the number of parents or children who received treatments under the £290 million made available for perinatal mental health.
