Speaking in the House of Lords on 2 September 2026

Debate

Childbirth-related Post-traumatic Stress Disorder

Contribution

My Lords, I thank my noble friend for her reply and her ongoing commitment to improving women’s health and mental health. This new evidence highlights that thousands of women with post-traumatic stress disorder following childbirth may be going undiagnosed. Will the Government use this evidence to raise awareness about childbirth-related post-traumatic stress disorder and work with NICE and other stakeholders to implement screening tools for diagnosis and a pathway for specialist referral in primary care so that women can receive timely diagnosis and treatment?
