Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of English Devolution on investment in creative health as a solution to local health inequalities.
Answered by Jim McMahon - Minister of State (Housing, Communities and Local Government)
As set out in the English Devolution White Paper, the government is introducing a new bespoke duty in relation to health improvement and health inequalities. This is intended to support Strategic Authorities to be active leaders and drive a “health in all policies” approach in line with our Mission government approach.
The duty will ensure Strategic Authorities have regard to the need to improve health, and the need to reduce health inequalities, in the exercise of their functions, and give them a clear stake in improving local health outcomes. This will complement the existing health improvement duty held by upper-tier Local Authorities. The government will engage Strategic Authorities, Local Authorities and the NHS as we take this forward.

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment his Department has made of the potential implications for its policies of NHS England's report entitled Independent mental health homicide report into the treatment of Valdo Calocane, published on 5 February 2025.
Answered by Stephen Kinnock - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care)
NHS England and Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust have accepted all the recommendations in this report, and we have been clear that we expect these recommendations to be fully implemented.
The trust has also been placed in the recovery support programme, meaning it is receiving focused and intensive support from NHS England to turn around its services and improve the quality and safety of care.
The National Director for Mental Health has written to all mental health trusts in England to ask them to ensure they have action plans in place to address all the issues in the report by 30 June 2025.
We are also taking steps to improve the way that people with severe mental illnesses are treated, including trialling new open access neighbourhood mental health centres that are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to provide people and their families with support if they are in crisis as well as providing wider support such as housing or employment advice to support them to stay well.
