star this property answer text <p>More and more people are getting support with their mental health thanks to investments made through the NHS Long Term Plan. Unfortunately, demand has risen as the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and the rise in the cost of living on people’s mental health continues to be felt. This means that some people are facing waiting times that are much longer than we would like.</p><p>We are providing record levels of investment and increasing the mental health workforce to expand and transform National Health Service mental health services, to expand access and reduce waiting times. Between 2018/19 and 2023/24, NHS spending on mental health has increased by £4.6 billion in cash terms, as compared to the target of £3.4 billion in cash terms set out at the time of the Long Term Plan. The NHS Long Term Plan committed to grow the mental health workforce by an additional 27,000 staff between 2019/20 and 2023/24. We are making positive progress, delivering two-thirds of this, or 17,000 additional staff, by September 2023, with further significant growth expected by the end of this financial year.</p><p>The NHS is also working towards implementing five new waiting time measures for people requiring mental healthcare in both accident and emergency and in the community, for both adults, and children and young people. This includes working towards improving the quality of data that we have on waiting times for people requiring mental healthcare, in both accident and emergency and in the community. NHS England began publishing this new data in 2023 to improve transparency and drive local accountability.</p>

These organisations, from local, community-led organisations through to national, are delivering a broad and diverse range of activity that will prevent suicides and save lives.</p><p>We have also announced that £8 million is being made available for 24 early support hubs across the country, a number of which will be run by voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations.</p>

Friend, the Secretary of State does not currently have any plans to make an assessment of either the potential merits of ensuring that adequate training is provided to people with mobility scooters or of the potential merits of allowing National Health Service patients who require mobility scooters or other aids to choose the provider and retailer of those aids.</p><p>Mobility scooters are not generally available on the NHS in England. The NHS provides other mobility aids including wheelchairs, walking sticks, and walking frames. Walking frames and some types of walking sticks can be borrowed from the NHS.

Through the Department for Transport Road Safety Research programme, funding has been provided to Driving Mobility, a registered charity with a network of driving assessment centres covering the whole of the United Kingdom. The training scheme that Driving Mobility is providing will train retail and hire businesses to assess the safe driving ability of individuals purchasing a mobility scooter, including NHS patients. The scheme will also provide retailers with information on best practice and recommendations on how to convey safe driving knowledge to individuals purchasing mobility scooters. Short tests will be included in order to judge competency so that extra support can be provided where needed. Driving Mobility launched the scheme in summer 2023.</p><p> </p><p>For NHS patients who require wheelchairs, integrated care boards (ICBs) are responsible for the provision and commissioning of local wheelchair services and the development of their local wheelchair service eligibility criteria based on the needs of their local population. NHS England is committed to supporting ICBs to implement personal wheelchair budgets. A personal wheelchair budget is a resource available to support people’s choice and provider of wheelchair, either within or outside NHS commissioned services. Since 2 December 2019, people who access wheelchair services, whose posture and mobility needs impact their wider health and social care needs, have a legal right to a personal wheelchair budget. The legal right was created by the National Health Service Commissioning Board and Clinical Commissioning Groups (Responsibilities and Standing Rules) (Amendment) (No. 2) Regulations 2019.</p>

Mental health support teams now cover over three million children or around 35% of pupils in schools and colleges. We are aiming to increase this coverage to 50% by April 2025.</p><p> </p><p>There are currently approximately 65 locally funded early support hubs in England. These hubs are open to those aged between 11 and 25 years old and, importantly, they are for anyone who may not meet the threshold to receive NHS support. This means children and young people experiencing feelings of anxiety or stress will have a physical space to go to in their community when their problems first emerge without the need for a referral.</p><p>On 25 October 2023, we announced £4.92 million of new funding to deliver and evaluate innovative mental health and wellbeing support for young people at 10 hub sites across England until the end of 2024/25. Bids are currently being considered and the ten successful hubs will be announced in due course.</p>
