The Government Has Failed On Mental Health For The Fourth Year In A Row

The Government Has Failed On Mental Health For The Fourth Year In A Row Where’s the money to make a reality of the Prime Minister’s oft-stated, but yet to be delivered, claim of parity for mental health?

New figures I have gathered through Freedom of Information requests to Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) across England reveal that, for the fourth year in a row, the government has failed to deliver on its promise to increase the money reaching the mental health frontline. In fact, for the second year in a row, over half of CCGs across England report that they plan to reduce the proportion of their budget they spend on mental health. It is wonderful that after years of embarrassed silence, more and more people are able to talk about mental health. Huffington Post UK
