Mental health services need more funding and adequate services available

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

There is not enough funding for mental health services, if you suffer with your mental health you are prescribed tablets, or a referral for either CBT or a psychiatrist, or nothing. The referrals can take years, this needs to be funded properly, too many people are loosing their lives because of it.
There is absolutely not enough support for people who have mental health, suicide is one of the leading causes of death in the uk. More support needs to be available, more services need to be introduced, there needs to be more funding towards it all. People are loosing their lives due to a failure in the mental health system.
