SECTION 2. Mental health and wellbeing plan: discussion paper and call for evidence

The government is committed to improving everyone’s mental health and wellbeing, and particularly for people who experience worse outcomes than the general population. This is a key part of their commitment to ‘level up’ and address unequal outcomes and life chances across the country.

The government has committed to develop a new cross-government, 10-year plan for mental health and wellbeing for England to support this objective. The government have therefore, launched a discussion paper and call for evidence to ask the public a range of questions to help develop the new plan.
