Closed Fund mental health support for those previously sectioned under the Act

Closed on

We the undersigned want the Government to ensure, through additional funding, that people who have previously been sectioned under the Mental Health Act 1983, are able to access secondary mental health care services in the community, when they require it.

We are not asking for premium speed; however we would like the knowledge that as people who at one point in their lives have been sectioned, they will be treated as a priority and not turned away. This should help prevent readmissions under the mental health act
