MP slams NHS cuts to mental health funding

The MP for Exeter has challenged the health secretary in the Commons over the cuts to mental health funding by the NHS.


Ben Bradshaw said services in this area are already under severe strain with some patients waiting more than two years for treatment.

He said Jeremy Hunt should be taking action over the NHS's decision to impose larger cuts on mental health funding than on acute hospital services.
