Fund monitoring for those advised to stop mental health medication

What the petition asks
Fund hospital monitoring whilst a specialist is consulted for anyone advised to stop mental health medication suddenly by any NHS staff. Also fund referrals to a specialist detox centre.
We think this would avoid mental health crises, further knock on effect physical health conditions, and save government funds.
We think it would cost less to hospital monitor an individual and consult specialists, than the long term cost of not doing so to the NHS and other public services, as this extra long term support may not have been necessary, and could have been avoided.
