Mental Health Services: Neurological Diseases
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department is taking to ensure that NHS mental health services do not exclude anyone because of a neurological diagnosis.
Answered by Stephen Kinnock
Access to National Health Service mental health services is based on clinical need, including for patients with a neurological diagnosis.
More broadly, we know that too many people with mental health issues are not getting the support or care they need, which is why we will fix the broken system to ensure we give mental health the same attention and focus as physical health, and that people, including those with a neurological diagnosis, can be confident in accessing high quality mental health support when they need it.
