answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/12/2023 answer text <p>The NHS Long Term Plan set out a minimum £2.3 billion real terms growth per year for expanding and transforming mental health services in England by 2023/24. This includes £1 billion for community mental health services for people with serious mental illness. However, the amount and proportion of this funding which has been distributed is not separately identifiable from the overall amount spent on mental health services. Neither is the impact of that funding on care pathways for people living with bipolar disorder separately identifiable.</p><p> </p><p>The funding aims to increase access to high quality care and transform care pathways for people with severe mental illness, including bipolar disorder, through: greater integration of primary and community services to provide care in the community driven by the needs of individuals, rather than based solely on diagnoses; physical health checks; and Individual Placement and Support schemes and Early Intervention in Psychosis services.</p> answering member constituency Lewes answering member printed Maria Caulfield question first answered 27/12/2023 11:39:00 answering member 4492 label Biography information for Maria Caulfield

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/12/2023 answer text <p>As part of its clinically led review of NHS Access Standards, the National Health Service is working towards implementing five new waiting time standards, one of which is that children, young people, and their families/carers presenting to community-based mental health services, should start to receive care within four weeks from referral. NHS England has recently published new data on mental health waiting times this year, to increase transparency and improve the quality of the data collected. Improvements are needed in the quality of data to make an accurate assessment of the cost implications of introducing the standards.</p><p>There are currently approximately 65 locally funded early support hubs in England, which are open to those aged between 11 and 25 years old who may not meet the threshold to receive NHS support. These are commissioned locally by integrated care boards and local authorities, working with local partners to understand local needs. In addition, on 25 October 2023, we announced £4.92 million of new funding to deliver and evaluate innovative community-based mental health and wellbeing support for young people at 10 sites across England until the end of 2024/25. Bids are currently being considered and the ten successful hubs will be announced in due course.</p><p>NHS England continues to roll out mental health support teams to schools and colleges across England. There are now approximately 400 mental health support teams in place, covering over three million children or around 35% of pupils in schools and colleges. We estimate this will increase to 44% by April 2024 and we are working to increase this coverage to 50% of pupils by March 2025.</p> answering member constituency Lewes answering member printed Maria Caulfield question first answered 18/12/2023 17:47:28 answering member 4492 label Biography information for Maria Caulfield

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/07/2023 answer text <p>No specific assessment has been made on the closure of NHS Staff Mental Health and Wellbeing Hubs.</p><p>Staff mental health and wellbeing hubs were established in October 2020 with funding subsequently extended to March 2023. They were funded on a non-recurrent basis in response to the pressure on the workforce from COVID-19. NHS England has identified further national funding to maintain support for staff mental health in 2023/24 on a regional basis, as part of the transition towards a sustainable model for staff health and wellbeing support, which is based on a preventative, local level approach. Integrated care systems (ICSs) are able to supplement this with their own investment locally.</p><p>To ensure there is a long-term sustainable approach to supporting staff, the NHS Long Term Workforce Plan has tasked ICSs with developing and implementing plans to invest in occupational health and wellbeing services.</p> answering member constituency Colchester answering member printed Will Quince grouped question UIN 194180 question first answered 20/07/2023 16:46:29 answering member 4423 label Biography information for Will Quince

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/03/2023 answer text <p>The Department is committed to the roll out of social prescribing and associated activities, including arts, music and gardening across the National Health Service in England. Social Prescribing Link Workers (SPLWs) work with people to understand ‘what matters to them’ then to connect them to agencies for practical, emotional and social support and to community groups and activities. Where individuals consent, SPLWs capture wellbeing outcomes before and after engagement with the social prescribing service as routine practice, using standardised outcomes measures such as Office for National Statistics Four. There is growing evidence on the role that activities, whether they be creative, activity- or nature-based, improve people’s health and wellbeing. The role of SPLW is also being evaluated by the National Institute for Health and Care Research to determine how access, engagement and outcomes vary by delivery model, geography and population characteristics over time.</p><p> </p><p>The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) Guidance has been released for guided Digital Cognitive Behavioural Therapy tools for children and young people with symptoms of low mood and anxiety. The technologies in these categories are being evaluated by NICE as part of their Early Value Assessment, which covers both clinical and cost effectiveness.</p><p> </p><p>For NHS Talking Therapies for anxiety and depression services, a key characteristic is the routing collection of clinical outcome measures and monitoring activity. NHS England’s Digitally Enabled Therapies (DETs) Assessment Criteria enables DETs to be reviewed for suitability for use in NHS Talking Therapies Services.</p> answering member printed Lord Markham question first answered 29/03/2023 11:30:48 answering member 4948 label Biography information for Lord Markham
