Rejected petition Support a more realistic solution to the mental health crisis
The government announced an increase in funding of £2 billion to support the mental health crisis. Consider this then. Serving 50,000 people would cost Youngkind just £30 million p/a. Is that a realistic use of some of that huge investment? Please sign to support a Government fund initiative.
More details
Mental health in the UK is in crisis, the Government has committed a further £2bn – but the NHS can’t solve this alone. A large resource pool exists to deliver help but it’s hard to access, sub-optimised and costly. Youngkind is developing a buddy platform, which will compliment existing services to unlock these private sector resources with intuitive 21st Century technology to improve efficiency and effectiveness. Lowering cost all the way to free. We could change 50,000 lives for only £30m.
