Now, government promises mental health strategy
14/02/22 .
News
The government is continuing to take a strategic approach to health and is now promising a mental health strategy in 'the coming year'.
The minister for health and social care, Gillian Keegan, announced the intention last week in a statement to the House of Commons.
'Long-term, cross-government'
She promised 'a new long term, cross-government Mental Health Strategy in the coming year.'
The minister said the government would launch a public discussion paper this spring to inform the development of the strategy. She promised that government would be 'engaging widely, especially with people with experience of mental ill-health, to develop the strategy and build consensus.'
She said: 'I will be calling on all parts of society – including teachers, businesses, voluntary organisations, and health and social care leaders – to set out their proposals for how we can shift the dial on mental health.'

The Men’s Health Forum need your support It’s tough for men to ask for help but if you don’t ask when you need it, things generally only get worse. So we’re asking. In the UK, one man in five dies before the age of 65. If we had health policies and services that better reflected the needs of the whole population, it might not be like that. But it is. Policies and services and indeed men have been like this for a long time and they don’t change overnight just because we want them to. It’s true that the UK’s men don’t have it bad compared to some other groups. We’re not asking you to ‘feel sorry’ for men or put them first. We’re talking here about something more complicated, something that falls outside the traditional charity fund-raising model of ‘doing something for those less fortunate than ourselves’. That model raises money but it seldom changes much. We’re talking about changing the way we look at the world. There is nothing inevitable about premature male death. Services accessible to all, a population better informed. These would benefit everyone - rich and poor, young and old, male and female - and that’s what we’re campaigning for. We’re not asking you to look at images of pity, we’re just asking you to look around at the society you live in, at the men you know and at the families with sons, fathers and grandads missing. Here’s our fund-raising page - please chip in if you can.
