What the petition asks

Create an independent MHS Board to run things properly—no sidelined under the NHS umbrella. Direct mental health access—cut out the GP middleman and go straight to the specialists.
Mental health isn’t a side issue, we need a system that treats it as such. Enough is enough!

Stop the NHS Meltdown, patients are getting lost in the chaos. Free up NHS resources by giving mental health its own dedicated service, staffed by specialists who know what they’re doing. Mental Health Deserves More, An independent MHS means proper funding, real leadership, and policies designed for mental health—not as an afterthought to physical care. Right Care, Right Place,If you’ve got a mental health issue, why should you waste time with a GP first? It's a national crisis, sort it out!
