More help available for people who are suffering with mental health issues

Petition Details

For many of us with mental health we have been failed by the services on offer within the NHS, We are often the ones left to one side.

Offer more help to people who are admitted to A&E

make more beds available in hospitals for people with mental health instead of sending us home to suffer.

Additional Information

We need early intervention available instead of being left until it’s simply to late.

We need more beds available as many of us who attend A&E are often told that no beds are available or are not even offered one.

Data compiled for the BBC by NHS Digital showed that between 2011-12 and 2015-16 the number of patients attending A&E units with psychiatric problems rose by nearly 50% to 165,000.

For the under 18s alone the numbers almost doubled to nearly 22,000.
