Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
What steps his Department plans to take to support mental health services during winter 2020-21.
The mental health of everyone is absolutely critical in these unprecedented times. We are working with the National Health Service, Public Health England, social care and others to take an expert look now at what we might anticipate by way of need coming through over the next few weeks and months. We will bring forward our winter plan for mental health and wellbeing in due course.
