I thank the right hon. Gentleman and will ensure officials look up that study, committing to consider any evidence showing improvement in this area.

I thank my hon. Friend for the work she is doing to campaign for better support in this space and for raising these tragic cases, not just today but in her powerful contribution to last week’s debate. She is right to say that GPs are critical for supporting women during pregnancy, providing compassionate physical and mental health care and signposting relevant services, which is why continuity is important. I am happy to report to her that, in terms of mental health and bereavement support, a record number of women accessed a specialist community perinatal mental health service or maternal mental health service in the 12 months to July 2025, but clearly there is much more to do. We have announced a £36.5 million package for bespoke perinatal mental health and parent infant relationship support as part of the continuation of the family hubs and Start for Life programme, but as we heard in last week’s debate, although a lot has been done, there is so much more to do.

We recognise the excellent work being done by the Coalfields Regeneration Trust and remain committed to working with it. The current fiscal position remains challenging, in that context we are considering funding requests.

I agree with my hon. Friend that this is totally unacceptable. This Labour Government will deliver for women, unlike the Conservative party—whose leader said that maternity pay was “excessive”—or the Reform leader, the hon. Member for Clacton (Nigel Farage), who claimed it was a “fact of life” that women coming back from maternity leave would earn less. We know the difference that high-quality early years education makes, which is why I am delighted that, from this week, working families will be able to access 70 hours of Government-funded childcare.

The forthcoming English devolution White Paper will set out clearly our top-to-bottom redistribution of power, and how we include and engage people at a local level to ensure that they can actively participate in the development of their areas.

This Government are supporting those aspirations with a £3 million expansion of the creative careers programme, so that young people can find jobs and access opportunities. We are reviewing the curriculum to put arts and music back at the heart of the national curriculum.

My hon. Friend, in describing her constituency, speaks for the whole country. Disabled people and people with health impairments are very diverse, and we want to promote diverse, specialist initiatives to support people to stay in work, to get back into work if they have lost their job, and to progress in work, including by joining up local employment and help support. We need to remove barriers to accessing services as well.

My hon. Friend is right: 60% of unpaid carers are women, but they spend more hours caring, so they are disproportionately represented when it comes to receiving carer's allowance. This step forward is small but significant and important as the new Government understand that people live longer and care for longer, requiring help to balance work and caring responsibilities.

I thank my hon. Friend for her question and for all the work that she does to encourage more women into tech. It is great to know that the tech world is full not just of “tech bros”, but quite a lot of tech sisters as well.
