Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, pursuant to the Answer of 6 October 2020 to Question 94459 on Mental Health Services: Children and Young People, how many people on average have accessed the new Every Mind Matters website each day.

Answer

Public Health England and NHS England follow the Information Commissioner’s Office’s guidance whereby website visitors are opted out from being tracked unless they accept the analytics cookie set on the NHS.UK domain which delivers the Better Health-Every Mind Matters website. In the absence of a clear picture from web analytics data, the number of website visits can be estimated based on paid media reports. These indicate 208,020 visits or an average of 6,303 per day since the launch of the new Every Mind Matters parent and youth focused-content on 8 September 2020.

Since the launch of Every Mind Matters the site has received 7.15 million visits (subject to the above caveat around data opt in) and 2.4 million mental health action plans have been completed.
