Mental Health Services: Jarrow

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps her Department is taking to help improve access to mental health services in Jarrow constituency.

Answer

In September we announced ‘Our plan for patients’, which outlines how we will increase access to National Health Service mental health services, including in Jarrow. Improved access to general practice will expand routes into mental health care, as demonstrated through the A, B, C, D priorities.

Through the NHS Long Term Plan, we are investing an additional £2.3 billion a year by 2023/24 to expand NHS mental health services for adults, children and young people in England, including in Jarrow.
