Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department plans to take to improve access to mental health services.

It is unacceptable that some people are not receiving the mental health care they need and we are determined to change that

In 2025, we invested an extra £688 million. Nearly 40,000 more children received support this year, supported by 7,000 extra mental health workers

The 10-Year Health Plan sets out to introduce 24/7 neighbourhood mental health centres, expand NHS Talking Therapies and Mental Health Support Teams in schools, and improve access to support through the NHS App.
