Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what plans his Department has to make additional resources available for mental health services in the West Midlands over the next five years; and if he will make a statement.
This is a matter for the National Health Service locally. NHS England advises that Coventry and Rugby Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG), is working along with South Warwickshire CCG, Warwickshire North CCG, Coventry City Council and Warwickshire County Council, on a joint review of the specifications for children and adolescent mental health services.
In the current financial year Coventry and Rugby CCG will put an additional £1.2 million towards the mental health services it commissions.
