General practitioner (GP) practices would also signpost patients to debt advice services as part of their care and some practices have arrangements in place with local Citizens Advice Bureaux and debt advice services to provide outreach support in primary care.</p><p> </p><p>In January 2017, my Rt. hon. Friend the Prime Minister announced the Government would review the practice of GPs charging patients experiencing debt issues to complete Mental Health Evidence Forms when they require medical evidence for their creditors. The Department is working with the Money and Mental Health Policy Institute and a range of stakeholders from the financial and debt advice sectors and the British Medical Association to undertake the review.</p><p> </p><p>The Government recognises the impact that debt may have on mental health and wellbeing and the difficulties that may be experienced by people with mental health problems in managing their debt. The review has also considered the impact of debt and financial difficulties on people with mental health problems, including the potential impact on recovery.</p> answering member constituency Thurrock answering member printed Jackie Doyle-Price question first answered 05/03/2018 16:02:06 answering member 4065 label Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price
