I have recently been contacted by constituents as part of
the Fair Funding for Mental Health
campaign.
I am proud to be part of the Government that put more money into mental health than ever before
– including an additional £2 billion in the most recent Budget.
This has translated
into tangible positive changes in Cornwall, with a long-called for mental
health inpatient unit for young people currently being built in Bodmin.
While we are increasing funding, both for the NHS in
general and for mental health, we cannot take money away from other parts of
the NHS which face huge pressures
I will continue to make sure the Government puts as
much as possible from the new money the NHS is getting into mental health funding,
and that Cornwall gets a fair share of monies allocated nationally.
