THE Tories’ tinkering with the Mental Health Act won’t solve the many problems in the disintegrating mental-health system.
The chronic underinvestment in mental healthcare is evident when in just one month last year 745 patients had to travel out of their local area simply to get a bed, with NHS patients often farmed out to private providers at premium cost.
This is a cost the system can ill afford, with mental health taking up to 23 per cent of NHS activity, yet the funding allocated for mental health is just a quarter of that.
