Towards mental health equality: a manifesto for the next prime minister

This manifesto sets out five areas that the next Prime Minister must address in order to improve the lives of people with mental health problems and promote the mental health of the nation. By addressing these areas, the new Prime Minister will lead the way towards mental health equality and bring us closer to the ambition of a fair deal for mental health.

1. Take action to prevent mental illness

2. Create a cross-government plan for mental health and establish a ‘mental health in all policies’ approach across government 

3. Reform the Mental Health Act

4. Ensure everyone can access the right mental health support, in the right place, at the right time

5. Build a mental health workforce fit for the future
