Ministers 'letting down mentally ill people' by not collecting data
Shadow mental health minister accuses government of negligence in failing to record waiting times, suicides and deaths
Ministers have been accused of letting down mentally ill people by failing to collect basic data about waiting times, suicides and deaths, which would allow them to secure more funding to tackle the crisis in mental health.
Luciana Berger, the shadow mental health minister, has accused the government of “negligence” after having more than 50 freedom of information requests dismissed with the response that the data is “not collected centrally”.
The number of questions ministers cannot answer is staggering.
