To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of providing funding for early domestic support for new mothers.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of providing funding for early domestic support for new mothers.
The funding of early domestic support is a matter for commissioners to respond to the needs of the local population. New mothers may require additional support in the post-natal period which requires a holistic assessment in partnership with the family.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what recent assessment he has made of the adequacy of domestic support available to new mothers.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what recent assessment he has made of the adequacy of domestic support available to new mothers.
No recent assessment has been made. Domestic support can improve care management or resolve other concerns which may arise from becoming a new mother. This can include provision of information on self-care, signposting to other services, while targeted or specialist support should be provided as early as possible.

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will take steps to ensure that home help, meals-on-wheels and other social security benefits which are cancelled when individuals are taken into hospital in an emergency are re-instituted immediately when the patient is ready for discharge.
For people who are in receipt of local authority funded social care at the time they are admitted to hospital and will require the same level of provision on discharge, the relevant national health service organisation is required to provide the local authority in advance with a copy of the discharge notice so that an effective transfer of care can take place. Once in receipt of the Discharge Notice the local authority must ensure that the services needed are re-instituted to facilitate a safe transfer of care.
Where, during their hospital stay, the NHS organisation considers that the person will need a different package of care on discharge compared to what they were receiving when admitted, the NHS organisation is required to issue an Assessment Notice to the local authority so that they can consider and put in place, in discussion with the person, what care and support will be needed on discharge. The authority is required to undertake this assessment within two days of receiving the notice from the NHS.
Issues in relation to welfare benefits are a matter for the Department for Work and Pensions.
