The question

Answered by Dr Zubir Ahmed
Through our Plan for Change, we’re determined to give children and young people the best start in life, including in the South East Cornwall constituency.
The Government is expanding access to mental health support teams in all schools and colleges to reach all pupils by 2029, ensuring that every pupil has access to early support services.
More widely, we are investing £26 million in new crisis centres, rolling out young futures hubs, and hiring 8,500 more mental health staff to reduce waiting times.
