Mind welcome the Prime Minister's support for people with mental health problems
Mind welcome the sustained momentum from the Prime Minister and government to improving support for people with mental health problems.
Paul Farmer, Chief Executive of Mind, the mental health charity, said:
“We welcome the sustained momentum from the Prime Minister and government to improving support for people with mental health problems.
“It’s particularly positive to see such priority given to young people’s mental health – our recent work in schools has shown us the true scale of the need and, as most mental health problems start in childhood, decent support as early as possible is key.
“We also welcome progress on the Mental Health Act review.
“Finally, it’s encouraging to see government acknowledge the enormous impact that financial problems can have on mental health, and recognition that improving the wellbeing of the nation is about more than getting NHS services right alone.”
