The Bishop of Leicester asked a question on steps to address inequality in communities on 8th May 2025, particularly for those whose first language is not English, during a discussion on mental health care:
The Lord Bishop of Leicester: My Lords, in my own city of Leicester, some excellent work is being done with minority-ethnic communities in particular to help with access to mental health services. Nevertheless, significant inequalities remain. What more is being done to address those inequalities, particularly as they relate to people whose first language is not English?
Baroness Merron (Lab, DHSC): What the right reverend Prelate raises is absolutely key: tackling inequalities in mental ill-health is so important. We know that some groups are more excluded than others, and this is taken into account in the preparation of the 10-year plan, which will be published over the next few months. I hope the right reverend Prelate will, like me, find that the 10-year plan addresses how we will tackle inequalities over the coming years—it will do so—because that is a key point.
