It’s all about change
There is lots of change on top of lots of change!
It is simply exhausting to keep track of and also
to experience. Over the last three years there has been the pandemic, the impact of which
is still being felt; we are in the middle of a
cost of living crisis, following over 10 years
of austerity, which had seen under investment in services across the board. There is currently the establishment of Integrated Care Boards, which will see a change in the way the NHS works in communities and in commissioning. For many reasons, including lack of investment and a current workforce crisis, our systems are struggling and in some cases are broken. This is the case with mental health services. This means that people are finding it difficult to get help that is consistent – this is vital for people.
