'Historically, we have undertreated and ignored it...we've seen terrible underinvestment in those services.' It's 'difficult to hear' Tony Blair say the UK 'can't afford' its mental health expenses, the Centre for Mental Health's CEO Andy Bell tells @ShelaghFogarty.

Reducing waiting times for mental health care will need investment & reform. Starting now and making mental health a priority in the 10-year health plan will give the Govt the best chance of speeding up access during this Parliament and making good on its promise of parity. 4/4

We urge the Government to take equivalent action to cut mental health care waiting lists. Ministers could act now to put already-agreed waiting time standards in place for mental health services to bring accountability in line with that for physical health hospital treatment. 3/4

🧵Tackling waiting times for elective surgery on the NHS in England is critical for the millions of people waiting for treatment. But there are over a million people waiting for equally important mental health support whose needs are being overlooked. 1/4 theguardian.com/society/2025/j…

@CentreforMH Does it look like Trieste by any chance ? (Problem is that the reality of places like Lambeth, Croydon, Hackney, inner Liverpool, Manchester, and Glasgow is not like wealthy north Italian cities and patients will end up in prison if they cannot get a bed. Or join the homeless).

How do we overhaul inpatient mental health care? The NHS ten-year plan must boost investment across the system, to: 👥 Provide trauma-informed care in hospital ⏰ Intervene earlier before people reach crisis point 🏥 Modernise MH hospitals 🏘️Offer alternatives in the community.

🧵 Too often, inpatient mental health services are marked by coercion and restriction in environments that risk re-traumatising patients rather than helping them to recover. We've been exploring what #CareBeyondBeds could look like 👇centreformentalhealth.org.uk/publications/c…

With proper investment as part of the NHS ten-year plan, integrated care boards have the power to build better systems of support that will reduce reliance on hospital beds, taking the pressure off local inpatient services and making out-of-area placements unnecessary.

Small-scale, incremental change will not be enough to deliver the system-wide change needed. We need to redesign our mental health system with a wider range of options, including from voluntary & community sector organisations.
