Increase funding and reduce waiting times for mental health services
We believe mental health services are underfunded, leaving thousands potentially waiting months for care. We urge the Government to increase NHS funding to hire more professionals and reduce waiting times for assessments to under four weeks.
Mental health crises appear to be rising, yet many people can often face delays in accessing vital care. This could lead to worsening conditions, loss of productivity, and preventable tragedies. We believe investing in timely mental health services helps save lives, eases NHS pressure, and strengthens society. No one should face these struggles alone so let’s prioritize accessible and effective support for all.
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.
