Description

A new independent review into the surging demand for mental health support, particularly among young people, is set to launch this Thursday. Led by Professor Peter Fonagy and Sir Simon Wessely, the review aims to understand the driving factors behind this increase, drawing from academic research, personal experiences, and frontline clinician insights. This initiative comes as the government seeks to address its growing welfare bill and reform disability benefits, with political leaders emphasizing the need for a transformed welfare system. The reviews findings will significantly influence future policy decisions and service effectiveness.
