Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what progress his Department has made on tackling mental health stigma and discrimination following its announcement in October 2020 that it will stop funding Time to Change on 31 March 2021.

The Department is working with Time to Change on developing regional community-led hubs to secure its legacy. More widely, we are ensuring that work to address mental health inequalities, stigma and discrimination remains a priority across Government. Every Government department, as well as major corporations, has made a Time to Change Pledge to continue challenging mental health stigma and the inequalities experienced by people with mental illness.
