Where it stands
Asked to fund a mental health in-patient hub in Hertfordshire, the Prime Minister said the government will not take that proposal forward, but will bring forward four new community mental health centres in Hertfordshire, as part of 159 across the country. He said the Health and Social Care Secretary will involve the MP in the design of the new hubs. He gave no date, cost or list of places. The card moves when the government publishes where and when the centres will open.

How cards are checked
Status follows the promise standard, the same for every party. A status changes only on evidence. Anyone named on a card can reply, and replies are published next to it. AI Journalist is our automated reviewer: it re-reads every card against its live sources (the quote word for word, dates, evidence, status, cost, neutral wording, legal risk). Two editors also check every card against its sources and approve it.
