MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES IN LONDON

Early day motion 1124, tabled 28 November 2005 by Andrew Dismore (Labour). Signed by 58 members.

That this House recognises that, as a major world city, London's mental health needs are great; acknowledges that mental health should be strategically addressed by the Government and the NHS but that other institutions like local authorities, schools and employers also have a significant role; welcomes improved provision for those with mental health needs but would wish to see further significant improvement; notes that there is a growing body of evidence to suggest that initiatives such as reducing stress, promoting physical activity and increasing employment opportunities can improve people's mental health; and urges the Government to ensure that the mental health needs of London are fully addressed.

Signatures by party: Conservative 34, Labour 14, Liberal Democrat 5, DUP 4, UUP 1.
