Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of having a single three digit phone line joining together his Department, charities and other organisations for people suffering from mental health problems.
We have made no such assessment.
The NHS Long Term Plan commits to implementing age-appropriate mental health crisis care support, 24 hours a day through NHS 111 by 2023/24.
