The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what progress he has made on ensuring that children and young people in every community have access to drop in mental health support.

Answered by Stephen Kinnock

The Government is committed to improving mental health support for children and young people. Our commitment to roll out a network of Young Futures Hubs in every community to provide open access mental health support is proof of this.

We are currently working across Government to consider options in order to deliver Young Futures Hubs. The hubs will bring together services, including mental health support, to improve how young people access opportunities and support at the community level.
