Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to the call for evidence for the Mental health and wellbeing plan, published by his Department on 12 April 2022, whether the 10 year mental health plan will be published before the end of 2022; whether the plan will include any new spending commitments; and if he will make a statement.

We received more than 5,000 submissions to the call for evidence, which closed in July 2022. We are currently considering the responses and further information will be available in due course.
