Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the extent to which people with Huntington’s disease who are displaying mental health symptoms are able to access community mental health services.

No such assessment has been made. Access to National Health Service mental health services is based on clinical need, including for patients with Huntington’s disease and organic brain disorders.

The NHS Long Term Plan commits an additional £2.3 billion a year for the expansion and transformation of mental health services in England by 2023/24 so that an additional two million people, including those with Huntington’s disease and organic brain disorders, can get the NHS-funded mental health support that they need.
