Modernising the Mental Health Act
As an organisation that exists to build mentally healthier populations, the inclusion of the Mental Health Act in the King’s Speech is something that is welcomed.
We are fully aware of just how important the pledge by the new government to modernise the act is for our partners within the wider mental health industry. We are in full support of them and believe that everyone in the UK must have autonomy, and rights, over their mental health care. Thus ensuring choice, and a voice, when it comes to the most effective services and support that aligns with an individual's specific needs and wants.
