To ask His Majesty's Government whether the forthcoming mental health strategy for England will address the safety of medicines with psychiatric risk profiles when prescribed for physical health indications; and how the strategy's alignment with the suicide prevention strategy for England will reflect the findings of the Health Services Safety Investigation Body's investigation into the risk of harm from propranolol.
