Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether his Department is aware of NHS Grampian’s virtual support service; and whether he has had discussions with the Scottish health minister on that service.

We are not aware of this initiative by NHS Grampian. However, Departmental officials met recently with counterparts in the Scottish Government to share best practice on policies to improve mental health and wellbeing and will meet regularly to develop a new long-term strategy for mental health and wellbeing.
