NHS Confederation - Mental Health Network welcomes Prime Minister’s vision for care
Sean Duggan, Chief Executive of the Mental Health Network, responded to the Prime Minister’s recent announcement on supporting mental health
“The Prime Minister’s welcome vision for mental health reflects our members’ own experiences on the front line where it is clear that greater parity alongside physical care would be an effective way to begin improving public health.
“Mental health is worsening among children and there is too much variation in the care available to people of all ages. Increasing the public’s own awareness and acceptance of mental health is also an important step in helping people to seek help at the earliest time.
“Mental health services still need the Government’s support to speed-up promised funding, much of which is delayed, but we are very pleased that mental health is being accepted as a major priority going forward.”
