Petition Action

Get the government to invest more money in mental health to lower waiting times.

Petition Details

Currently the wait to receive mental health treatment for mental illness is approximately 56 weeks (or more), without interim support, where people are now in & out of the crisis team at A&E more & more. Funding needs to increase & the waiting times need to come down before people turn to suicide!

Additional Information

1 in 4 people at some time in their life will be diagnosed with a mental health issue. However, 75% of those 1 in 4 will be left in the system for over a year to struggle on their own without access to interim support.
