One of the things that they're really looking at is every GP practice in Scotland having access to a dedicated mental health worker. At least percent of the budget goes towards mental health, and that would actually bring us up to the same as England and Wales.
When the stakes are high, understanding political perspectives on mental health becomes crucial. In this episode of the 'Man On! Podcast', the team at Man On! Inverclyde sits down with Francesca Brennan, the Labour and Cooperative Party Candidate, to discuss her views on mental health as we approach the Scottish elections. Man On! Inverclyde, a suicide prevention charity, remains neutral, aiming solely to spotlight the best mental health outcomes for the community.
Brennan shares her party's vision, including the ambitious goal of placing a dedicated mental health worker in every GP practice across Scotland. She also emphasizes the importance of allocating a significant portion of the budget to mental health, aspiring to match the funding levels seen in England and Wales. The conversation delves into the unique challenges faced by Inverclyde, especially in light of the pandemic's impact on mental well-being.
Brennan’s insights offer a candid look at how policy changes could transform mental health support in the region. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the intersection of politics and mental health, offering a blend of hope and practical solutions.
