invest, not disinvest, in our children and young people twitter.com/rcpsych/status…

very well done Sue and thank you for your ongoing energy and commitment to our young people twitter.com/rcpsych/status…

Health and Social Care Committee Children's Commissioner for England Luciana Berger Sarah Wollaston .Children's Commissioner for England says 'we have gone beyond incremental change being acceptable'. Children with #mentalhealth problems will become adults with MH problems. Longfield says we cannot ignore this.

Both as national director for MH and as a trust CE, I am deeply concerned at where this leaves us. We cannot jeopardise 5yrfv MH deliverables and my Trust ( and colleagues') cannot go on making 6% CIPs year on year...not to mention soc care! Some very very tough choices ahead.

Chancellor Philip Hammond's announcement of extra funding for the NHS is welcome but we now urgently need the Government & NHS England to confirm that they will keep existing plans for the delivery of #mentalhealth promises on track. #Budget2017

A message powerful in its simplicity. Thank you Wendy Burn CBE (She/her) for articulating the inequity that faces psychiatric patients.
