two.2.4) Description of the procurement
Evidence of the benefits of Perinatal Mental Health and Child-Parent Relationship Support.
The pandemic has contributed to increased rates of mental illness among pregnant and new mothers in the UK. The lack of support during the intrapartum period due to changes to service provision are associated with increased stress, depression, and anxiety. This includes service changes such as the introduction of digital healthcare and attendance of antenatal appointments without partners or loved ones.
