The Government published the long-awaited new health care legislation about a week ago. The bill is 232 pages long and makes some significant changes to the way the NHS is organised and how it plans health services.
There is very little in the bill specifically about mental health services but the implications for mental health are profound and important.
The Centre for Mental Health has an excellent blog by Andy Bell on all the changes and what this means which can be seen by going to:
