Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether the Major Conditions Strategy will include policies to (a) help tackle children's mental health needs and (b) support children's mental health services.
We received over 5,000 submissions to our mental health and wellbeing call for evidence, and we appreciate the engagement work many stakeholders carried out with children and young people, to inform their responses. We have analysed these responses and we will consider them as part of the process for developing the mental ill health content in the Major Conditions Strategy.
