Farmers: Mental Health
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what assessment her Department has made of the potential impact of farmers' mental health on the level of agricultural output.
Answered by Dame Angela Eagle
Defra has not done an assessment, but we recognise that poor mental health can have a damaging effect on farm productivity and are supporting farmer specific access to mental health support services through the Farming Welfare Grant.
