World Mental Health Day


Labour’s vision for integrated, whole-person care will deliver an NHS with mental health at its heart - Berger

Luciana Berger MP, Shadow Minister for Public Health, commenting on World Mental Health Day, said:

"Mental health is an issue that continues to be swept under the carpet. We need to talk about it much more openly if we are to challenge the archaic attitudes that are still far too commonplace.

"One in four of us will experience a mental health problem in our lifetime, but we’ve seen in the last fortnight that we have a long way to go in changing how mental illness is portrayed - from products sold in our supermarkets to coverage in our national press.

"Labour’s vision for integrated, whole-person care will deliver an NHS with mental health at its heart, not relegated to the fringes."
