Address the geographical imbalance in funding for Adult Mental Health Services.

Where a person lives should not impact their equality of access to mental health provision, however, an individual in the North West of England is less likely to receive the critical care they need than one in London and the South East due to the geographical concentration of funding, established services and professional experience. The gap needs to be addressed and closed in order that needless distress and preventable deaths as a consequence of lack of care become a thing of the past.
