Farmers: Mental Health and Productivity
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, pursuant to the Answer of 13 November 2025 to Question 88050 on Farmers: Mental Health and Productivity, if her Department will make an estimate of the cost of producing such research.
Answered by Dame Angela Eagle
It is impossible to calculate costs of potential research without specifying the exact parameters of what is being researched in detail. Engagement with charities and wider stakeholders has not indicated an immediate need for commissioning of research in this area; however, we will continue to bring together evidence on farmer mental health collected in other ways.
