Rethink report into budget cuts affecting mental health services (May 2006).
In November 2005, Rethink began hearing about worrying cuts to mental health services around the country. Service users, carers and staff began alerting us to plans that suggested health trusts were targeting mental health services in order to ‘plug’ gaps in their wider budgets as the financial year was coming to a close.
Rethink responded by gathering as much evidence as possible from our networks to start building a picture of what was happening on the ground. This report is a snapshot of the cuts that are happening on the ground.
