Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he has taken to improve access to mental health services for people aged between 18 and 25 years old in Hornsey and Wood Green constituency.

The NHS Long Term Plan commits to investing £2.3 billion extra funding a year in expanding and transforming mental health services by March 2024, enabling an extra two million people, including people aged between 18 and 25 years old in Hornsey and Wood Green constituency, to be treated by mental health services within the National Health Service.

Integrated care boards (ICBs) and local authorities work with local partners to understand local needs for mental health services. We expect all ICBs to meet the Mental Health Investment Standard, increasing investment in mental health services in line with their overall increase in allocation for the year.
