NHS Providers’ interim chief executive Saffron Cordery said that while Every Mind Matters is a welcome initiative, “trusts are concerned about the effect of rising inequality on people’s mental health”. “Overstretched services face severe workforce shortages while people’s needs are becoming more serious and more complex, partly as a result of the pandemic.” Cordery warned that the rising cost of living is “harming people’s physical and mental health as financial pressures take their toll”. “But we need to know that the cross-government mental health plan remains a priority for ministers - and will be backed up by the support and funding mental health services and their partners require to deliver the level of care that people with mental health problems need, when they need it.” Additional reporting by PA
