Democratic Unionist Party — Strangford

Speaking in the House of Commons on 5 February 2025

Debate

Maternal Mental Health

Contribution

The fact that there are so many Members present is an indication of the importance of this subject. Does the hon. Lady agree that support is an essential component of maternal health and that, for those families who do not have extended support, charities such as Home-Start in my constituency, which have volunteers to go to help, are essential and should be more widely funded to help more young mothers who feel they are drowning to get a lifeline back to the surface?
