To reopen Mental Health Care to the people who need it

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

I would like the government to reopen the mental health service to people who need them. 99% of non essential things have been restored and yet things such as support workers, CPN's (community psychiatric nurses) and therapies have still not been restored. This is wrong and can be massively damaging

Because they are the only people who can, they are in control of what the NHS can and can't do so they need to do this, they need to implement these changes to help people who were already struggling before and are struggling potentially more so now

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
