Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what steps he is taking to improve mental health services for children and young people.
This question was answered on 10th October 2017
We are investing an extra £1.4billion in children and young people’s mental health services. This money is already extending access for children and young people to vital services, and will reach an extra 70,000 children a year by 2020/21.
The Government has committed to publish a Green Paper on children and young people’s mental health by the end of the year to outline next steps.
