Mental health cash welcomed
Welcomed in Lancashire.
The Chancellor’s announcement that more money is to be pumped into mental health services has been welcomed in Lancashire.
Alan Frew, founder and managing director of Preston-headquartered home care specialist, Community Life Choices, said: “Mental health care is one of the biggest unmet needs of our time and it’s promising to see the chancellor pledge a further £600m in funding.
“What he failed to address is how we’re expected to raise standards when local authorities in England spend just one per cent of their annual health budget on tackling these issues.
