Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how much funding has been allocated to supporting people with learning disabilities under the Mental Health Recovery Action Plan.
The ‘COVID-19 mental health and wellbeing recovery action plan’ provided £31 million to support those with a learning disability and autistic people. This funding aims to support earlier discharge from mental health settings to the community and prevent admission into inpatient care.
