Little Christmas cheer for mental health patients - Burstow6.00.00pm GMT Wed 17th Dec 2003 Responding to the damning report on mental health services released by the Commission for Health Improvement, Paul Burstow MP, Liberal Democrat Shadow Health Secretary, said: "This timely report shows there is little Christmas cheer for mental health patients this year. "Decades of underinvestment and neglect have left mental health services struggling to cope with staff and bed shortages, over-stretched budgets, and crumbling buildings. Ministers have claimed that mental health is a priority for them, but services for younger and older patients are still missing out. "It is appalling that after six years of Government, Labour are obsessed with draconian legislation but fail to deliver mental health services fit for the 21st century."
