Labour — Blaydon and Consett

Speaking in the House of Commons on 25 November 2025

Debate

Mental and Physical Health Services

Contribution

Our mental health system is still suffering from the strain of 14 years of Conservative government. Rethink Mental Illness has reported that 12 times as many people are now waiting for mental health treatment than for physical health treatment. Nearly one third of those surveyed attempted suicide while waiting, and one in five lost their jobs. What are the Government doing to tackle those long waits and offer support to people before they reach crisis point?
