Barbara Keeley MP,
Labour’s Shadow Minister for Mental Health
, commenting on the Government’s Mental
Health Workforce plan, said:

“Being able to recruit thousands of new mental health staff hinges on the
money being there to pay for them. Yet, this Tory Government expects mental
health and acute trusts to foot more than half the bill themselves. 

“Asking trusts to
find savings of £744 million over the next four years when services have
already been cut to the bone shows just how out of touch this Tory Government
is. These plans simply do not add up.”
