Petition Increase the mental health budget now.

It's a serious issue and affects people’s physical health and the economy. Better prevention measures – access to therapies and support, faster referrals, more time to discuss with a GP versed in mental health – means better outcomes overall. We value mental health and the budget must reflect it!
