Review of the National Childbirth Trust 'Hidden Half' report and GP consultation This report found that resourcing GPs to offer a ten-minute appointment about the mother’s health would cost around £27 million a year but this could help to identify more women who are experiencing mental health difficulties after the birth of their child, and ensure that they receive timely, effective support. It concludes that an additional health check with GPs would provide an important opportunity to help women whose difficulties were missed during pregnancy. Centre for Mental Health
