Answer
In September we announced ‘Our Plan for Patients’, which outlines how we will increase access to National Health Service mental health services, including in Wirral South. Making it easier to access general practice through our ABCD priorities will expand this route as a gateway to mental health care.
Through the NHS Long Term Plan, we are investing an additional £2.3 billion a year by 2023/24 to expand these services for adults, children and young people in England, including in Wirral South.
