Mental health services: Addressing the care deficit

Mental health services: Addressing the care deficit A new report by NHS Providers reveals deep disquiet among NHS mental health trust leaders about a substantial care deficit resulting from the impact of growing social and economic hardship in their communities.
Mental health services: Addressing the care deficit looks at the levels of demand reported by frontline leaders across the range of services they provide, and examines what lies behind the growing pressures.

In particular the report identifies widespread concerns about benefits cuts and the impact of universal credit. It also suggests that loneliness, homelessness and financial hardship are adding to pressures on NHS mental health services.
