Theresa May has asked Andrea Leadsom MP, the leader of the House of Commons, to chair the working group that will seek to identify gaps in provision and make recommendations on how co-ordination across Government departments could be improved.
The review will build on recent Government policy in this area, including the 15 and 30 hours of funded childcare, NHS England’s Maternity Transformation Programme and expansion of provision for perinatal mental health care.
Other members of the cross-party working group will be the children and families minister Nadhim Zahawi, the chief secretary to the Treasury Elizabeth Truss, the minister for family support, housing and child maintenance Justin Tomlinson, the minister for mental health and inequalities Jackie Doyle-Price, and the minister for local Government Rishi Sunak.
