answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/09/2014 answer text <p> </p><p>This Government has legislated for equal priority for mental and physical health. Our mental health policy supports the developing of an integrated response to people with both mental and physical health problems to avoid diagnostic overshadowing and ensure the delivery of holistic care that properly addresses physical health care needs.</p><p> </p><p>The physical health care of people with mental health problems is a key component of the Parity of Esteem programme. The importance of the issue has been reinforced by the introduction of the first national CQUIN (Commissioning for Quality and Innovation) for mental health inpatients. This requires NHS trusts to implement physical health checks for all inpatients. NHS England is working in partnership with the Royal College of Psychiatrists, amongst others, to promote the CQUIN.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Physical health checks form a key part of any care plan for mental health service users, including assurance of annual physical health checks by Care Coordinators overseen by their local general practitioner.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>NHS England is also working with a range of partners and service users to look at ways of improving physical health outcomes in secure mental health settings. This includes a range of physical health outcomes such as promoting healthier lifestyles for service users as well as looking at overall wellbeing.</p> answering member constituency North Norfolk answering member printed Norman Lamb question first answered 05/09/2014 14:05:20 answering member 1439 label Biography information for Norman Lamb

Under the Act, it is illegal to discriminate against people who have a disability (which includes mental health problems), or have had one in the past. This includes refusing to provide a service for someone with a disability, or providing the service on worse terms than for non-disabled people.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency North Norfolk answering member printed Norman Lamb question first answered 05/09/2014 13:37:22 answering member 1439 label Biography information for Norman Lamb

The use of the British Indian Ocean Territory (including Diego Garcia) is regulated by a series of bilateral agreements between the UK and US covering a period of fifty years.
