Lord Roberts of Llandudno – 2015 Parliamentary Question to the Home Office

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Lord Roberts of Llandudno on 2015-11-10.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what mental health support they are offering to recently arrived Syrian refugees.

Lord Bates

The Syrian VPR scheme prioritises those who cannot be supported effectively in their region of origin.

Before accepting or rejecting a referral local authorities will be provided with information on medical needs and will think carefully about whether they have the infrastructure and support networks needed to ensure the appropriate care and integration of these refugees.
