Mental Health Services: Bournemouth
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department is taking to increase the availability of specialist mental health support in Bournemouth.
Answered by Stephen Kinnock
NHS Dorset Integrated Care Board is responsible for providing health and care services, including specialist mental health support, to meet the needs of the people of Bournemouth.
Nationally we recognise that many people in Bournemouth and across England are not getting the support or care they deserve, which is why we will fix the system to ensure that mental health is given the same attention and focus as physical health, so that people can be confident in accessing high quality mental health support when they need it, wherever they live.
