Failing mental healthcare system

This report, based on first-hand accounts of doctors working across the NHS, reveals a ‘broken’ system of mental health services in England. The current economic cost of mental ill health has been estimated at over £100 billion in England alone, but this report demonstrates that across the NHS, doctors are in an ongoing struggle to give patients the care they need because the funding is not sufficient, there are not enough staff, and the infrastructure and systems are not fit for purpose.
