Health and Social Care Committee: Children and Young People's Mental Health

Committee hears from witnesses

The Health and Social Care Committee will take oral evidence on children and young people's mental health. This is a fact-finding inquiry to examine the state of mental health services for under-18s, identify gaps in provision, and gather evidence from witnesses to inform potential policy recommendations or future legislation.

Children's mental health has become a critical public health issue, with rising rates of anxiety, depression, and self-harm among young people. This inquiry will shape how Parliament and the government respond to a generation facing unprecedented mental health challenges, affecting NHS services, schools, and local authority provision across the country.
