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.

Fund specialised psychological therapies for all NHS Mental Health inpatients
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
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
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.

Fund an NHS fast-track route for ADHD & autism diagnoses and treatment
We urge the Government to fund a fast-track route in the NHS for ADHD and autism diagnoses and treatment, to ensure urgent access to care, regardless of whether diagnosed privately or publicly. We believe no one should face delays, gaps in medication, or be denied essential support.
