Rehman has welcomed the Prime Minister’s announcement today (11 January 2016) that the number of beds in specialist mother and baby units will increase, following his recent campaign.
Last year, Rehman introduced a Private Members Bill, with the support of the Royal College of Psychiatrists and the Centre for Mental Health, to ensure an appropriate level of provision of Mother and Baby Units in England.
His campaign received the support of 72 Members of Parliament, who signed a joint letter asking the Prime Minister and the Government to improve specialist care.
