Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask Her Majesty's Government with which professional bodies and third sector bodies they had discussions in developing the green paper Transforming children and young people's mental health provision.

The Green Paper team, across the Department of Health and Social Care and the Department for Education, had discussions with over 90 professional and third sector bodies on development of the Green Paper. A list of these stakeholders is attached due to the size of the data. This includes engagement before the Green Paper’s publication and during the consultation period through national roundtables, telephone conferences for large groups of additional stakeholders, focus groups and many bilateral discussions. The teams in both the Department of Health Social Care and the Department for Education also spoke about the Green Paper and engaged with stakeholders at a number of events and conferences organised by others.

The list may not be completely exhaustive of all bodies the two Departments engaged with. For example, discussions with stakeholders also took place in the margins of events or through networking opportunities, and with various individual schools and colleges.
