Mental Health funding boost

The Government has announced the results of its rapid review and has announced some additional Mental Health resources in our region.

Extra funding of £150m was announced, with £7m being specifically used to fund 100 specialised mental health ambulances. The funding also includes £300,000 for a Crisis Café based in Northumberland.

Once I have further details on the number of these specialists ambulances in our area and the site of the new Crisis Café - I will update you further.

May be an image of text that says "MORE SUPPORT FOR MENTAL HEALTH PATIENTS 100 new specialist ambulances for mental health patients 150 new or improved facilities across England On top of our record £2.3 billion investment in mental health services across England by 2024. Conservatives"
