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 effect of the covid-19 outbreak on the mental health of young people.
This question was answered on 16th July 2021
We continue to assess the effect of the outbreak on the mental health of young people through Public Health England’s ‘COVID-19: mental health and wellbeing surveillance’ report.
In October 2020, NHS Digital published ‘Mental Health of Children and Young People in England, 2020: Wave 1 follow up to the 2017 survey’ which explores the mental health of children and young people in July 2020, during the pandemic and compares changes since 2017.
