Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what his Department is taking to increase access to mental health services in the Solihull constituency.
Through the NHS Long Term Plan, we are investing an additional £2.3 billion a year by 2023/24 to expand these services for adults, children and young people in England, including in Solihull.
On top of this we provided an extra £500 million in 2021/22 to accelerate our expansion plans and address waiting times for mental health services, give more people the mental health support they need, and invest in the National Health Service workforce.
