Thank you for your support. We delivered a petition signed by 6,000 people asking the Taoiseach, Minister for Finance, Minister for Health and Minister for Mental Health to not cut mental health staffing in the 2012 budget.
We are no longer running this campaign.
Please see OTHER WAYS TO TAKE ACTION ON MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES!
Dear Taoiseach, Minister for Finance, Minister for Health and Minister for Mental Health,
I am fighting for mental health. You must ensure that the number of mental health staff in Budget 2012 is held at the HSE level that was in place at the start of 2011. We cannot afford to lose any more staff.
High unemployment and money worries are affecting people's mental health. More people are looking for help with mental health difficulties but the mental health system is already cracking under the pressure.
Ireland is 20- 30 years behind what is international good practice. If you do not protect mental health staff levels, we will move even further away from a modern system. Fight for mental health in Budget 2012 – keep the number of staff at the HSE level that was in place at the start of 2011.
