Verbatim
“yet more evidence of a system failing patients on a scale that is truly staggering”
“The announcement must begin to turn the page on a sorry chapter which has seen so many people go without the specialist support they need in the community, only to end up in crisis in loud, bright emergency departments waiting days for essential care.”
“More services closer to people's homes and new dedicated emergency departments are a crucial step towards more humane care.”
“To succeed, both will need specialist mental health nurses at the centre.”
“We know that early intervention is the best route to protect mental health and yet so many are left waiting for years.”
