Mental Health Services: Staff

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, pursuant to the Answer of 15 September 2026 to Question 26981 on Mental Health Services, what recent discussions she has had with integrated care boards on whether staffing new mental health centres will be achieved through (a) new recruitment and (b) redeployment of NHS mental health services.

Answer

I thank the Hon Member for his continued interest in the Government’s roll-out of new community-based mental health centres and mental health emergency departments. I do not have anything further to add at this time to the public statements that the Department has issued on this programme, and the previous answers I have provided to his questions, but as and when there are further updates to provide, I will ensure that Parliament is properly informed.
