Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what assessment his Department has made of the number of (a) adults and (b) children who are (i) experiencing or (ii) likely to experience post-traumatic stress disorder, depression or other mental health problems as a result of the Grenfell Tower fire.

NHS England (London) is working with Professor Chris Brewin, professor of clinical psychology at University College London who worked extensively with people suffering Post Traumatic Stress Disorder following the 7/7 incidents.

In the first days of a major incident the focus is on providing support to enable people to talk about their experience and their fears and to help them to feel safe. NHS England (London) will be assessing exact numbers when we have accurate figures on the numbers of people affected.
