Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask His Majesty's Government what is the current status of the Building the Right Support Action Plan; and what plans they have to create a new Building the Right Support Action Plan to support reforms proposed in the Mental Health Bill.

The Building the Right Support Action Plan, published in 2022, contains commitments which have not yet passed their delivery dates, including the commitment to reform the Mental Health Act.

We do not plan to create new actions in a new action plan while the bill is before Parliament. However, we recognise that this is a vitally important area, and we are considering how to ensure that more people with a learning disability and autistic people are supported well in the community, ahead of the commencement of the Mental Health Act reforms.
