Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Business and Trade) (Minister for Women)
It is for individual integrated care boards to commission mental health services, including those for people with psychosis, in order to meet the needs of their local population.
We have introduced waiting times standards for early intervention in psychosis services and are expanding and transforming National Health Service mental health services, backed by additional investment of £2.3 billion a year by March 2024 to enable an extra 2 million people in England to access NHS funded mental health support.
