Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how much funding has been allocated to his Department's Defence People Mental Health and Wellbeing Strategy.

The Defence People Mental Health and Wellbeing Strategy launched on 20 July is aimed at providing a better focus and use of existing services including welfare support, training and education, anti-stigma campaigns and mental health services provided by Defence Medical Services, the National Health Service in England and the Devolved Administrations and charities. The Strategy is well resourced through connected agencies and services which the forthcoming Mental Health and Wellbeing Strategy Action Plan will take on and develop.
