Mental Health Services: Children and Young People
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how much funding has been allocated to each integrated care board in England to provide for child and adolescent mental services for the next financial year.
Answered by Stephen Kinnock
It is for individual local commissioners to allocate funding to children and young people’s mental health services to meet the needs of their local populations and this information is not collected centrally. Integrated care boards are expected to continue to meet the Mental Health Investment Standard in 2025/26 by increasing their investment in mental health services in line with their overall increase in funding for the year.
