Barbara Keeley MP, Labour’s Shadow Minister for Mental Health, commenting on the findings of the CQC’s State of Care Report 2017, said:
“It is unacceptable that over a third of NHS core mental health services require improvement on safety.

“Labour will invest in mental health services and ring-fence budgets so that funding reaches the front line.
