Debate between Jack Brereton and Jackie Doyle-Price

Tuesday 23rd July 2019 Commons Chamber

[Jackie Doyle-Price]

We need to make sure that those mental health teams start acting as soon as possible. This is something that we need to address collectively with schools and as a society to make sure that we get treatment to people at the earliest possible time.
