" Specialist mother and baby units are found in less than half of mental health trusts, a charity claimed today. Emily Wooster, spokesperson for Mind, said a 2005 survey revealed that 75 per cent of trusts did not have this type of specialist unit and that there were still more improvements to be made. She explained that, according to a study by Mind, one in six new mothers experience mental health problems either before or after the birth of their child. &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;ve known for a long time that depressive illnesses are high for mothers,&amp;quot; she said. Her comments come as the Royal College of Midwives release a report alleging that the incidence of postnatal depression is at least twice as high as what was previously thought. Ms Wooster commented that the National Institute for Clinical Health and Excellence has recommended that clinical networks be developed to support mothers but the plans have stalled due to lack of funding. \u00A9 Adfero Ltd "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
