Our Mental Health Network has joined other major mental health leaders to write a letter to the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care to call for Government support to retain Lord Bradley’s amendment 12 in the Health and Care Bill. The amendment means that mental health expertise must be represented at board level in every Integrated Care System.

The network believes in full parity for mental health at all levels of government, including within integrated care systems, and this amendment will help drive parity.
