Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what discussions his Department has had with the Health and Social Care Directorates of Scotland on sharing learning and best practice on improving the mental health of children and young people.

Departmental officials met recently with counterparts in the Scottish Government to share best practice on policies to improve mental health and wellbeing, including for children and young people.
