THE ZITO TRUST AND A WORLD CLASS MENTAL HEALTH SERVICE

Motion Text

That this House notes the parliamentary launch on 13th June of The Zito Trust report entitled, Looking Forward To A World Class Mental Health Service; welcomes the fact that this report follows the recent National Institute for Clinical Excellence guidance which recommends the first-line use of the modern atypical antipsychotics for people with schizophrenia; recognises that the report highlights the current postcode prescribing that NICE was in part established to address; and calls on the Government to ensure that sufficient funds get through to healthcare professions to ensure that this landmark guidance is implemented in a timely manner.
