Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what proportion of the £500 million package to support mental health services in England announced in the Spending Review 2020 will be ring-fenced to fund mental health support services for children and young people in (a) schools and (b) healthcare and community settings.
This additional funding will be used to address waiting times for mental health services, give more people the mental health support they need and invest in the National Health Service workforce. Further detail will be set out in due course.
