Last November the Chancellor of the Exchequer made a commitment to publish a comprehensive NHS workforce plan. Today, the Royal College of Psychiatrists, along with the other members of the Mental Health Policy Group (MHPG), have sent a letter calling on the Chancellor to publish this plan, backed by adequate investment, as a matter of urgency.
The Mental Health Policy Group is an informal coalition of six leading national organisations working together to improve mental health - comprised of the Centre for Mental Health, Mental Health Foundation, NHS Confederation Mental Health Network, Mind, Rethink Mental Illness, and the Royal College of Psychiatrists.
