Closed Equality for mental health

Closed on

We, the undersigned, have joined together to mount a campaign aimed at persuading the Government to help reduce the suffering of those with mental ill health by increasing investment into the provision of mental health services.

As ministers make final decisions on the Spending Review, we urge them to treat mental health equally with physical health. We ask for the same right to timely access to evidence based treatment as those with physical health problems.

We accept, this will require additional investment in mental health services. But we are strongly persuaded that investment in mental health services will lead to significant returns by reducing the burden on the NHS through the improved wellbeing of our citizens.
