Borderline Personality Disorder: Health Services

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department is taking to help support people living with borderline personality disorder.

Answer

It is for individual integrated care boards to commission mental health services, including those for people with borderline personality disorder, to meet the needs of their local population.

We are investing at least £2.3 billion of extra funding a year in expanding and transforming mental health services in England by March 2024. Through the NHS Long Term Plan, we are investing almost £1 billion of this extra funding in integrated community mental health support for people with serious mental illnesses. This will give an additional 370,000 adults and older adults greater choice and control over their care.
