Fund improvements to secondary care community mental health services
We think patients should be supported by a qualified & compassionate workforce with the time & resources to provide effective support is essential & cost effective.
We think the government should not conflate primary & secondary care services. We think the NHS should better fund services, including the professional 'Care Coordinator' role qualified (i.e. mental health Nurses, Social Workers & Occupational Therapists).
We think the Government should provide NHS funding so qualified 'care coordinator' to patient ratios are a maximum of 1:12 and psychological therapists to patient ratio are maximum of 1:40.
We think the Government should adequately fund and legislate to mandate these staff to patient ratios in every secondary care service.
If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
