We are coming up to the budget. I would like to know why no additional funding was provided to the national clinical programmes in mental health in 2023. This meant there was no additional funding to expand national clinical programmes for self-harm and suicide, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, ADHD, eating disorders or early intervention in psychosis. What does this mean for the timelines for completion of the expansion of the national clinical programmes? Will increased funding be delivered in budget 2024 for the national clinical programmes for mental health?
