These do not require a statutory basis to implement. No assessment of the merits of a non-statutory or statutory approach for these services has been made since the publication of the green paper and the Long Term Plan.</p><p>We continue to consider the Committee’s recommendations in the context of the development of a new long term, cross-Government plan for mental health. We will update our response to the Committee’s recommendations once the final plan is published.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/11/2021 answer text <p>There is a range of support available for mental health and wellbeing for children and young people across the National Health Service, local authorities, education and the voluntary and independent sector. The extent of drop-in support on a self-referral basis is a matter for local commissioners across those sectors. Some local areas may commission digital services as part of their children and young people mental health pathway. This may include alternative forms of provision for those in crisis, such as sanctuaries, safe havens and crisis cafes which can provide a more suitable alternative to accident and emergency departments. Subject to local commissioning arrangements, this may include 'digital drop ins' as part of their service.</p><p>We have also established local 24 hours a day, seven days a week NHS urgent mental health lines to provide help, advice and support, including for children and young people.</p> answering member constituency Chichester answering member printed Gillian Keegan question first answered 17/11/2021 14:42:31 answering member 4680 label Biography information for Gillian Keegan
