This investment will transform and expand services for people with mental health conditions, including eating disorders, building on our current targets.</p><p>The mental health investment standard (MHIS) requires clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) to increase the amount spent on mental health by at least as much as their overall budget.

The latest available waiting times figures against this standard, indicate that NHS England is on track to meet it by 2020/21.

uin	265434
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/06/2019 answer text <p>The use of sedation services is a matter of clinical judgement. Training in engaging children and young people forms the basis of training in all paediatric specialties, for all grades of staff. Clinicians are trained to approach a child or young person in a sensitive, skilled and friendly manner and crucially, make a judgement as to how any procedure or treatment will be administered in the best interest of the child. Treatment decisions should always be made by doctors based on patients’ clinical needs.</p><p>The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence provides guidance on using sedation for diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. This covers the assessment, preparation, training and monitoring needed when using sedation in people aged under 19.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/06/2019 answer text <p>The Government response to the Committee of Public Accounts on the Seventy-Second to the Seventy-Seventh reports from Session 2017-19 set out that the Government disagreed with the Committee’s recommendation. It went on to say that:</p><p> </p><p>“The Department supports the intent behind this recommendation and is considering the benefits of developing a coherent cross-departmental programme in due course. However, doing so would require considerable time and resource to do it justice and our focus at present is on a wide range of delivery and policy priorities which we will set out briefly here. NHS England set out a clear plan for improvements in the NHS in the Five Year Forward View for Mental Health Implementation Plan, building upon the recommendations of Future in Mind to improve children and young people’s mental health. The Department remains committed to this plan and has since made commitments to go significantly further, particularly in relation to mental health and education via Transforming Children and Young People’s Mental Health Provision: a Green Paper, jointly published with the Department for Education in December 2017, and there are a wide range of important new commitments outlined in the NHS Long Term Plan. The Department is also taking forward significant work bilaterally with several other government departments including the Ministry of Justice on the independent review of the Mental Health Act, the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport on social media and a cross-government strategy on suicide prevention which was published 22 January 2019.</p><p> </p><p>Both the children and young people’s mental health Green Paper and Future in Mind identified the need for cross-organisational working. As a result of Future in Mind, since 2015, each Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) area across England worked with partners in Children’s Services, the voluntary sector, providers and children, young people and parents to develop Local Transformation Plans, setting out how local agencies will work together to improve children and young people’s mental health across the full spectrum of need. Local Transformation Plans are refreshed annually and report into local governance structures including Health and Wellbeing Boards. The Government convenes regular cross-Whitehall Inter-Ministerial Groups to ensure senior focus on mental health in policies across Government.”</p><p> </p><p>The Government response is available at the following link:</p><p> </p><p><a href="http://www.parliament.uk/documents/commons-committees/public-accounts/Correspondence/2017-19/Treasury%20MInutes%20Government_Response_Web.pdf#page=9" target="_blank">www.parliament.uk/documents/commons-committees/public-accounts/Correspondence/2017-19/Treasury%20MInutes%20Government_Response_Web.pdf#page=9</a></p> answering member constituency Thurrock answering member printed Jackie Doyle-Price question first answered 20/06/2019 16:27:36 answering member 4065 label Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price
