Mental Health Services: Children and Young People
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to his announcement of 5 March 2021 at the Downing Street briefing on covid-19 on additional funding to provide mental health support for children and young people, what plans he has to allocate some of that additional funding to help reduce waiting list times for patients on child and adolescent mental health services' referral lists.
- Answer
-
The £79 million of additional funding announced on 5 March 2021 will be used to significantly expand children’s mental health services and will allow around 22,500 more children and young people to access community health services. This will enable community mental health services to provide more children and young people more timely care.
