PM Andy Burnham promises families 'help is on way' with more than 150 new NHS mental health centres to open

Prime Minister Andy Burnham has announced a significant expansion of NHS mental health services, promising that help is on the way for families. The government intends to open over 150 new mental health centres, marking the most substantial redesign of these services in a generation. This initiative aims to allow patients to access support earlier and closer to home, preventing individuals from reaching a crisis point and reducing the overall pressure currently placed upon the NHS.
