A petition calling for David Cameron to appoint a Cabinet minister for mental health

Additional Information

A new report, from the London School of Economics, suggests the NHS is failing mental health patients. Mental illness accounts for 23% of the total burden of disease, yet receives only 13% NHS expenditure. Professor Lord Layard, of the LSE Centre for Economic Performance, has called for a designated Cabinet minister to reflect the burden of mental illness on society.
