Written Answers
Mental Health: Boys Asked by: Lord Farmer (Conservative - Life peer) Wednesday 10th April 2024 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask His Majesty's Government what action they are taking to help the mental health of boys who were impacted by the lockdown restrictions. Answered by Lord Markham - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care) We want to ensure that all children and young people get the mental health support they need, including boys. By the end of 2023/24 the overall spending on mental health has increased by more than £4.7 billion in cash terms since 2018/19 (before the COVID-19 lockdown restrictions were introduced). There are now around 400 mental health support teams in place across England, covering 3.4 million children or around 35% of pupils in schools and colleges. We estimate this will increase to 44% by April 2024 and we are working to increase this coverage to 50% of pupils by March 2025. There are also currently around 65 locally funded early support hubs in England. These hubs are open to those aged 11 to 25 years old and, importantly, they are for anyone who may not meet the threshold to receive National Health Service support. Following a competitive commercial process from hubs across the country, the government is now providing up to £8 million to 24 existing hubs to provide even more support. This means children and young people, including boys, who are experiencing feelings of anxiety or stress will have a physical space to go to in their community when their problems first emerge, without the need for a referral.
Birth Rate Asked by: Lord Farmer (Conservative - Life peer) Wednesday 10th April 2024 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the impact of the Abortion Act 1967 on UK birth rates. Answered by Lord Markham - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care) No assessment has been made of the impact of the Abortion Act 1967 on United Kingdom birth rates. Parliament decided the circumstances under which abortion can legally be undertaken. Under the act, women have access to safe, legal, regulated abortion services.
Population Asked by: Lord Farmer (Conservative - Life peer) Wednesday 10th April 2024 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the impact on the UK of the global decline in fertility rates. Answered by Lord Markham - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care) No such assessment has been made.
