Having stable and appropriate housing is invaluable for people living with a long-term mental health problem. We also know that rough sleeping can exacerbate existing, underlying mental health conditions and can result in a mental health crisis.</p><p>In 2018/19 the Department for Health and Social Care will provide up to £2 million in health funding to test models of community-based provision designed to enable access to health and support services for people who are sleeping rough. This will include services to support people with both mental ill health and substance misuse issues. We are undertaking a rapid audit of provision targeted at people who sleep rough that can be used to inform future commissioning decisions. The Department for Health and Social Care has asked NHS England to spend up to £30 million on health services for people who sleep rough, over the next five years.</p> answering member constituency South Derbyshire answering member printed Mrs Heather Wheeler question first answered 22/10/2018 16:07:51 answering member 4053 label Biography information for Mrs Heather Wheeler
