It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Mr Twigg. I thank the right hon. Member for North Durham (Mr Jones) for bringing forward the debate and for all his work in this space. He is absolutely right that mental health affects us all, and for those who have a poor experience with mental health the impacts can be life-changing. The minister emphasised a seismic shift towards parity between mental health and physical health over the past decade, focusing on early intervention and community support rather than crisis response. She highlighted funding increases from nearly £11 billion in 2015 to £15 billion currently, with an additional £2.3 billion committed annually to transform services. The minister visited Hammersmith and Fulham Mental Health Unit and discussed the Humberside model that prevents patients from being taken to A&E or police cells as a first point of refuge. She announced £150 million for crisis centres across England, alongside the rollout of up to 90 mental health ambulances. The minister mentioned record numbers of patients coming forward through referrals and GP visits, and emphasized recruitment efforts with 27,000 additional mental health staff already in place. Mental health support teams are being established in schools covering 4,700 institutions, aiming to normalise the importance of mental health wellbeing alongside physical health. The minister stressed that over a third of people with severe symptoms of common mental health disorders also report chronic physical conditions compared to a quarter without such symptoms. She committed to publishing previous call for evidence responses this spring and developing the mental health aspect of the major conditions strategy soon, ensuring it dovetails with NHS England's Core20PLUS5 strategy aimed at reducing inequalities.
