PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Mental Health and Employers Independent Review (15 November 2017)

My Rt. hon. Friend the Prime Minister welcomed the Stevenson/Farmer review, and has accepted the recommendations that apply to the Civil Service and NHS England as employers. The Government will support and encourage the wider public sector in taking forward the recommendations wherever possible.

It is our hope that responsible employers will choose to adopt the mental health core standards and improve their workplace environment, with recommendations for trade bodies, regulators and Government supporting them in making this happen.

The Government will respond to the full review as a part of our response to the consultation on the Work, Health and Disability Green Paper. We plan to publish this later this year.
