Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will support a public health campaign to increase understanding of and reduce the stigma around conversations about death, dying and bereavement.

There are no plans to run a public health campaign on bereavement. Bereavement is included as part of the Better Health: Every Mind Matters campaign under the ‘Life’s challenges’ section, helping to normalise the bereavement experience and signpost support. The Department and NHS England will also continue to support National Grief Awareness Week through their social media channels.
