Mental health unit to open two beds for Welsh mums
One member of the Senedd said some mothers were attending adult psychiatric wards and being separated from their baby because there was no MBU on their doorstep.
Women are also referred to specialist units in Manchester, Chorley, Birmingham as well as the Uned Gobaith Mother and Baby Unit in Swansea. It is set to have some Welsh language services, including bilingual signs and a 24-hour helpline, with priority given to Welsh-speaking staff applying to work there."I don’t think two beds is enough for the region," she said.
But having a facility closer was "great progress", according to Sally Wilson who works for the charity, Action on Postpartum Psychosis .Ms Wilson, from Felinheli, Gwynedd, was taken to a general psychiatric ward away from her daughter after giving birth in 2015."You get that kind of specialist care and you can get better with your baby and make sure you have that bond and really get well but caring for your baby at the same time.
