NHS Confederation: Mental Health Network welcomes PM's focus on mental health

Stephen Dalton, Chief Executive, Mental Health Network, responded to the Prime Minister’s speech yesterday.

“Ahead of the publication of the Taskforce’s report, it’s great to see mental health getting the attention it deserves at the highest levels of Government. The Prime Minister’s personal commitment and his leadership on this issue is very much welcome

“I particularly want to welcome the Prime Minister’s focus on the mental health of new mothers and ensuring more people get swift access to services - including home treatment and support. Mr Cameron is right to highlight that making improvements in these areas will require additional investment. Building on previous commitments for an additional £1.25 billion investment in mental health services for children and young people, we must ensure that new funding announced today gets through directly to providers of care.”
