Farmers: Mental Health Services

Asked by Alicia KearnsConservativeDepartment of Health and Social CareTabled Answered 23 July 2024UIN 225

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department plans to take to improve mental health provision for farmers.

Answered by Stephen Kinnock

People across the country are not getting the mental health support they need, which is why the Government will fix the broken system to ensure we give mental health the same attention and focus as physical health. This should help people in rural areas, including farmers, to be confident in accessing high quality mental health support when they need it.
