For urgent referrals, this may include high risk behaviour due to mental health symptoms, new or increasing psychiatric symptoms that require timely intervention to prevent full relapse and/or significantly impaired ability for completing activities of daily living or vulnerability due to mental illness, expressing suicidal ideation but no plan or clear intent.</p><p>For very urgent referrals, this may include those who present a risk of harm to themselves or others, acute suicidal ideation with clear plan and intent, who have a rapidly worsening mental state, who do not require immediate physical health medical intervention, are not threatening violence to others.</p> answering member constituency Chichester answering member printed Gillian Keegan question first answered 24/02/2022 13:13:15 answering member 4680 label Biography information for Gillian Keegan

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/02/2022 answer text <p>On 6 December 2021 the Government published ‘From harm to hope – a 10 year drugs plan to cut crime and save lives”’ The strategy focusses on prevention among children and young people and that treatment also has a preventative effect. The most effective and sustainable approach to reducing demand for drugs is building resilience in young people and the strategy sets out measures to prevent the onset of drug use among children and young people, including through universal education and targeted work with young people and families.</p><p>We have committed £780 million over the next three years to deliver a treatment and recovery system. Of this, £533 million will enable local authorities to commission and invest in substance misuse treatment services in England. This is in addition to the current annual Public Health Grant, with which we expect local authorities to continue to invest in drug and alcohol treatment and prevention services. This will enable better integration of mental health services and substance misuse treatment. We are working with the National Health Service to introduce effective pathways and better integration between substance misuse and mental health treatment, including improving the skills of the substance misuse workforce.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Chichester answering member printed Gillian Keegan grouped question UIN 112504 question first answered 08/02/2022 15:33:21 answering member 4680 label Biography information for Gillian Keegan
