Mental Health Bill Reform

The Department of Health and Social Care is reforming mental health policy to address waiting times for psychological therapy, child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS), and eating disorder support, while assessing the impact of changes to the Mental Health Investment Standard on service access and funding for PTSD services. The reform is active and focused on improving NHS mental health provision and reducing treatment delays.
