The health secretary should support and fund Mental Health or appoint a minister
Mental Health is just as important as Physical Health.
The governments stance on Mental Health is poor. It is the health secretaries job to add this and make it just as important as physical health. The government should fund this as it does the NHS.
2020 has played tough times on mental health.
2020 has played tough times on people mental health. It shouldn't be down to individuals funding Charites, no government advice on the matter, no support from government and MPs. We need help on such a massive issue.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. We understand you're concerned about the priority given to mental health by the Government, but it's not clear exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
There is already a Minister of State within the Department for Health and Social Care with responsibility for mental health. See:

If there are specific actions you would like to see happen, you could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
