Part of the response to proposals

Now the proposals are published, we can respond properly. This is just one paragraph from one of the responses seen so far!

In all, these proposals will damage the mental health day services provided by Leeds City Council. The vulnerability of service users has not been taken into consideration, and the vast majority of service users have not been given the opportunity to have any input into their own support. There are no changes to the aims and objectives of the mental health system, these aims have been worked towards for many years. It is very clear that despite what the report claims about it not being a cost-driven exercise, these proposals have only been recommended due to financial difficulties. The NHS is unable to fill the gaps in the service that these proposals will cause, which will leave many vulnerable and ill people without appropriate support to recover.

Do let us know if you have any responses to these dangerous and life-threatening proposals!
