Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what specific steps his Department is taking to support the mental health of people who have experienced bereavement as a result of the Grenfell Tower fire.

The Local Authority is responsible for allocating a lead social care worker to the bereaved. Every Grenfell Tower resident has been allocated a key worker to provide wrap around care. Cruse bereavement support, a leading national charity, is also available for the bereaved.

To co-ordinate the local response a central command centre was set up by government on 16th June, led by the chief executive of the City of London Corporation and the chief executive of the London Borough of Southwark Council.
