A failing social care system will have long-lasting repercussions for all, but it is women who are likely to be worst hit.

We will not give up the fight to ensure that mental health is the given the priority it needs and deserves.

I am anxious that, in some areas, changes across Government departments are making things worse for our nation's mental health.

The fact that some people are not as able to communicate concerns about their care must never mean that any less attention is paid to their treatment - or their death.

We need to do more to raise awareness of perinatal mental health illness and address the stigma that still surrounds it in our society.

In order to really give mental health the focus and attention it deserves, we need to bring together and integrate all the services that provide women with the care they need. This includes the mental and physical health services, as well as social care.

I can't think of any mother who would think twice about discussing the changes that happen to their body during pregnancy. But on top of this, we need to reach a point where they're comfortable talking about what might happen to their mind.

By creating a generation of vulnerable people, especially children, with a poor, irregular diet, we are storing up a public health time bomb.

Food poverty exists because of unemployment, low wages, high costs of heating, as well as problems at the DWP including delays in receiving social security, and the cruel and unfair Bedroom Tax.

No one walks into a food bank with their head held high.
