We would like to see cuts to mental health care stopped and provide vital funds

Rejected 18 signatures

What the petition asks

Mental health cuts keep coming our way and yet the demand now is higher than ever! Suicide rates are rising fast. We are seeing less psychiatric nurses, less beds, less help centres and all the more people turned away when in desperate need.
My partner has suffered for a very long time and has been told stage 4 counselling is a shocking 12 months minimum wait even after waiting 6 months and they are still seeing patients from 2015! change is needed to ensure our most vulnerable can access help when they truly need it!
