Previously, the Cabinet Secretary suggested to me that Wales did not need a specialist mother and baby unit because such services were being delivered in the community, but on further investigation it appears to me that all but two health board areas in this country have no provision for specialist perinatal mental health care. Presumably, the Government, maybe even the Cabinet Secretary, conducted an impact assessment on the decision to close Wales’s last specialist mother and baby in-patient unit in 2013. Will the Cabinet Secretary make copies of that assessment available in the Assembly library?
