Edward Morello

Liberal Democrat — West Dorset

Speaking in the House of Commons on 19 May 2025

Debate

Mental Health Bill [Lords]

Contribution

Just to follow up on my hon. Friend’s point about the importance of mental health hubs, in West Dorset the only child and adolescent mental health services centre is in Dorchester, and for many people in my constituency, especially young people, that means at least a 30-mile round trip to access services. In rural Britain, we are lucky if transport links exist, and those that do are often limited. That makes accessing services nearly impossible, which is what makes hubs so important.
