What’s in the major parties’ 2024 Manifestos for mental health?

So here we are with another General Election. And not before time. Since the Conservatives, who had been promising a revised Mental Health Act since the last General Election, finally ditched the published Mental Health Bill before it could be passed into law, it looks like a good time to see what the major national parties have to say about mental health in their manifestos.

Thanks for the video 🙂
.
I was "Sectioned" and the staff were great and the one young doctor ....(i think) is or was the kindest and most companionate doctor i have ever encountered 🙂
.
(this is also because he knew all their "tricks" and was to set in place avoidance)... also
.
I was treat outside the hospital so brutally .... i'm left with a ruptured stomach that everyone is trying to cover up
.
Its a shame i do not know a lawyer who knows what they CANNOT do as i would do the "spade work" for him or her as they have no answer = COMPENSATION
.
Thanks for reading

I've reading on Social Services and when it comes to affluent people. Who knows the system with good lawyers, basically roadblocking them at every turn: complaints, legal challenges etc.

What's it like working in mental health services when it comes to affluent patients who may not want the help or to be hospitalised?

Can they book private treatment and therefore remove any NHS Involvement?

Hi Steve

Not complaining or anything but I noticed that all your videos audio volume are quite low and I need to whack the volume all the way up so I can hear you properly. Perhaps bringing the mic a bit closer till you can invest in one of those expensive ones 😉. cheers.
