Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether his Department has made an assessment of the potential merits of increasing funding for bereavement support following the covid-19 outbreak.

Since March 2020, we have provided over £10.2 million to mental health charities, including those offering bereavement support. We continue to assess how to ensure grieving families and friends who have lost loved ones can receive the support they need.
