	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/10/2015 answer text <p>During a Work Capability Assessment there is a requirement to assess both physical and mental health risks. This is covered in the guidance issued to Centre for Health and Disability Assessments (CHDA) healthcare professionals. Specifically, if a claimant indicates suicidal thoughts or intentions this is given careful and sensitive exploration by healthcare professionals to establish the full circumstances. There is a duty of care to act where appropriate, which may in some situations include calling the emergency services if the claimant is considered to be in substantial and imminent risk. If the claimants own GP is not aware then an agreed process is followed to inform the GP to ensure medical attention is provided.</p> answering member constituency Witham answering member printed Priti Patel question first answered 12/10/2015 16:39:56 answering member 4066 label Biography information for Priti Patel
