Minister pledges radical action on mental health | Public Finance: "Care service minister Paul Burstow has promised the public health white paper will include a ‘ground-breaking’ strategy for mental health, focused on early intervention.
Burstow said today: ‘The government is clear that there is no health without mental health – that is why we will publish both a public health white paper and mental health strategy that will break new ground.
‘If the right action is taken early in people’s lives, it’s possible to make a big difference. The right support at the right time can help people realise their potential, cope with adversity and hold down a job.’ He added that this was good both for the individual and society as a whole.
