Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what steps the Government is taking to improve support for children and young people with mental health problems.
We are working to develop seamless and integrated mental health services for children and young people through a major transformation programme backed by additional funding. NHS England are expanding the Children and Young People’s Improving Access to Psychological Therapies Programme to cover all England by 2018 and, with the Department for Education, developing single points of contact for mental health in schools.
