Question:
To ask the Minister of Health to detail the funding allocated to the Mental Health Strategy 2021-2031, in each year since 2021.
Answer:
No additional funding has been provided to my Department to support implementation of the Strategy. As a result, existing Departmental resources have been used to support progress on the Strategy’s actions. The table below shows the funding allocated by my Department from 2021/22 to 2025/26 to support delivery of the Mental Health Strategy: Year | Funding Allocation (£m) | Requirement within Funding Plan (£m) | 2021/22 | 0.65 | 0.65 | 2022/23 | 4.1 | 9.59 | 2023/24 | 5.5 | 24.38 | 2024/25 | 5.9 | 42 | 2025/26 | 5.9 | 61.72 |
There has also been capital spend of £4.7m from 2020/21 to 2023/24 for the Northern Trust Mental Health Inpatient Unit.
