Providing funding to make specialised therapy such as CBT, DBT, and trauma-focused therapy available to all NHS psychiatric inpatients. Ensure every patient gets tailored psychological treatment alongside medication if appropriate rather than these vital services only being accessible post-discharge

Subsidise cost of private therapy for those on NHS mental health waiting lists
As highlighted by some UK charities/organisations, the mental health system is facing severe challenges. Some specialist services via the NHS have waiting times of 6 months and more. This is far too long to wait for those in a crisis.
Increase funding for NHS counsellors and review current referral pathways
I want referral pathways from GPs for mental health issues to be reviewed, and improved. There is a need for a robust recruitment drive for actual counsellors and specialists in the NHS, and for better observance of the principle that mental health should be treated like physical health.
Increase funding for mental health services like counselling
The government to give more money to services such as counselling to help people going through mental health problems
Require NHS to start priority triage & discharge pathways for dementia patients
Make NHS hospitals implement priority triage and faster discharge pathways for people with dementia when the medical condition is treated & home or community care is available. Formally recognise that delay in discharge can cause rapid deterioration and should be treated as a clinical risk.
Fund more reasonable adjustments in NHS primary care for autistic people
We want the Government to provide funding to strengthen and enforce more reasonable adjustments in NHS primary care. This could include flexible appointments, longer consultations, quieter options, remote consultations, and home visits where surgery attendance is not possible.
