The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what funding he plans to provide for child and adolescent mental health services in the next financial year.

Answered by Stephen Kinnock

Priorities and spending for the next financial year will be set out in the NHS Operational Planning Guidance for 2025/26, which is due to be published shortly. It will then be for integrated care boards, in line with the national guidance, to make their own decisions on allocations to services in their areas, including child and adolescent mental health services.
