National data on prevalence of foetal alcohol spectrum disorder is not held centrally.

The Government is developing a new cross-Government mental health strategy for England, to be published later this year. The strategy will take a broad approach to improving mental wellbeing and supporting people with mental ill-health, including where there is cooccurrence with other physical or neurodevelopmental conditions.
