Mental Health: Finance
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, how much funding for the Mental Health Goals programme has been allocated; and what criteria she uses to distribute that funding.
Answered by Kanishka Narayan
The government has allocated up to £50 million over five years to the Mental Health Goals programme. Funding decisions are guided by strategic direction from the programme’s expert co-Chairs and assessed through academic peer review and a representative Steering Committee. Selection criteria include scientific excellence, potential to advance precision psychiatry, meaningful involvement of people with lived experience, and likelihood of attracting industry investment.
