Closed petition More funding for NHS CBT to make it more accessible and reduce waiting lists

I would like the government to fund Cognitive behaviour therapy so that more people are seen and and the waiting times are reduced.

More details

I want the government to do this because at the moment the waiting lists are extremely long and people are not being given the help they need and deserve as it is so underfunded. My dad Steve passed away by suicide in June 2020, we found out he was put on the waiting list for cbt but was told it would be quite a wait. This makes people feel their is no other way out of their pain as they feel they will never get any help, I hope that more funding will be able to save lives.
