Proceeding contribution from Alistair Burt (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 3 May 2016. It occurred during Urgent question on Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust.
Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust
Let me point out that we have announced an increased resource for mental health of £11.7 billion. The extra £1 billion that the Mental Health Taskforce recommended being spent by 2020 will be spent, and it will be spent right across the board from perinatal mental health to crisis care. It will also improve baselines to ensure that the governance and quality of foundation trusts are good enough, and we are watching what CQCs are spending. Yes, we recognise that there has been historic underfunding from Governments of all characters, but we are determined to improve it and the money is there.
