Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, whether (a) he and (b) Ministers in his Department have read the NHS England Mental Health Taskforce report.
We have read the report, which marks a big step towards our ambition of parity of esteem for mental and physical health.
We have welcomed the Taskforce's recommendations for government in the report and will be considering how best to integrate them into our current work programme, as well as new policies as they develop.
