Presentation transcript:

Mind or body – equal funding for care ‘The National Federation of Women’s Institutes calls upon the government to ensure that the care of people with poor mental health receives funding and respect equal to that provided for people with physical health problems.’

Demand for Mental Health services Mental health problems account for 23% of the total burden of disease. Yet they receive only 13% of NHS expenditure. The Mental Health Policy Group estimates two million more UK adults will have mental health problems by More than one in ten women experience mental health problems during and after pregnancy.

Mental Illness affects physical health

No Health Without Mental Health

The Situation Now In the 2015 coalition government budget the then Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg announced he had secured £1.25billion to enable the NHS to treat more than 100,000 young people suffering from mental illness by However, given demand on services and reduced budgets, services are patchy.

Arguments for the resolution Poor mental health is a big, and growing, problem in the UK. It can lead to a range of physical health problems and increases the risk of dying. Achieving funding equal to that spent on physical health will help treat many people, save many lives, and increase efficiency in the long-term. Many mental health problems are hidden, especially those suffered by new mothers in the postnatal period. A WI campaign can extend the reach of mental health awareness, help improve attitudes toward mental health and encourage people to seek help. This resolution fits nicely with the NFWI’s previous resolution on Care not Custody, calling for liaison and diversion services for people in the criminal justice system with mental health problems.

Arguments against the resolution Parity of esteem requires the health service to deliver joined up care, tackling both mental and physical health together in a holistic approach. Is separating mental health helpful towards this? Is it even possible to effectively separate the treatments and funding streams for physical and mental health? Whilst this is a worthwhile resolution that all members can take action on, it may not be a campaign that allows for hands on involvement in local WIs and local communities. It is not obvious how WIs can get involved and therefore might fail to engage our core audience: WI members.
