2. what assessment it has made of The Royal College of Psychiatrists statement that the number of people experiencing severe mental illnesses and needing urgent care amid the Covid 19 pandemic has become a serious cause for concern and its call to Government to ensure mental health services are properly funded and equipped to meet the anticipated increase in demand.

3. what assessment it has made of the remarks of the former chief medical officer, Professor Dame Sally Davies that thousands of coronavirus deaths could have been avoided if ministers had tackled obesity more effectively and that the level of U.K. deaths from coronavirus has been caused by “a structural environment” that enabled junk food makers to encourage consumption.
