Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department has taken to ensure that the Major Health Conditions Strategy will take into account the (a) views and (b) specific needs of children and young people who responded to the Mental Health and Wellbeing Plan.

We received over 5,000 submissions to our mental health and wellbeing call for evidence. We appreciate the engagement work many stakeholders carried out with children, young people and adults with lived experience, and more broadly, to inform their responses to the call for evidence. We have analysed these responses, and we will consider them as part of the process for developing the Major Conditions Strategy.
