WQ.217/2024  

WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES  

BY THE CONNÉTABLE OF ST. MARTIN  

QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 3rd JUNE 2024  

ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 10th JUNE 2024  

Question  

“Will the Minister advise whether he intends to prioritise funding for mental health services, including  neurodiversity, dementia, and suicide prevention, as part of his work programme and whether funding for  this programme will be included within the Government Plan 2025-2028?”  

Answer  

For each of the new strategies that are being produced – dementia, neurodiversity and suicide prevention –  

there will be an accompanying implementation plan that will set out clearly the work to be undertaken and  

the resources required for this. Some actions will be deliverable within current available resources, whilst  

others will require additional funding. This will require prioritisation of actions and of the available funding  

across HCS from 2025 onwards.  Commented [LF1]: @Anuschka Muller
