Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps have been taken to ensure that there is ongoing and adequate support for survivors of the Grenfell Tower fire who are experiencing trauma.

NHS England announced on 9 October 2018 that up to £50 million will be made available over five years to ensure that adequate and ongoing physical and mental health services are available for those affected by the Grenfell fire.

National Health Service emergency services responded immediately to the fire and its immediate impact, and the NHS has since worked closely with the local community groups to develop services that are informed by the views and needs of local people.

For people suffering from trauma, a range of therapeutic approaches are available, including: stabilisation, family therapy, psycho-education, Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.
