Ben Gummer
My hon. Friend raises an important matter that has also been raised by my hon. Friend the Member for South Northamptonshire (Andrea Leadsom). Given my responsibility for maternity services, I am particularly focused on the need to do better in perinatal mental health and maternity care, and I hope to say something about that in the not-too-distant future.
Teresa Pearce (Erith and Thamesmead) (Lab)
As far as I am aware, the Minister has not answered the question about the delay in issuing the report. If he cannot answer now, will he put a note in the Library and explain the reason for that delay?
Ben Gummer
I answered that point entirely accurately and categorically, and on behalf of the ministerial team I refute the allegation.
