§ Mr. GaleTo ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will list the(a) organisations and (b) expert professionals who have been consulted during his Department's review of specialised mental health care. [143852]
§ Ms Rosie WintertonThe national director is leading a group of senior clinicians and managers who are considering the advice needed to support future commissioning and provision of specialised mental health services. In each instance they will consult acknowledged expert professionals and leading voluntary organisations. The review has considered three topics so far—eating disorders, perinatal psychiatry and Aspergers syndrome. The Eating Disorders Association gave evidence to the first topic and AsCUSE gave evidence to the session on Aspergers. There was no voluntary sector organisation available for the session on perinatal psychiatry.
