Question

To ask the Scottish Government whether it will provide an update on the ongoing work to map out existing mental health services as part of the Delivery Framework for Miscarriage Care in Scotland, and a timeline for its publication. 


Answer

The Scottish Government is continuing discussions internally and with NHS perinatal mental health professionals around how counselling and other psychological services (including those provided by third sector organisations) could be expanded and improved to provide appropriate support for those impacted, where they don’t require more specialised NHS support.

There are no plans at this time to publish the map of services which will be used to inform policy.
