I think it has to come from the public. The Government will not do it because it is not urgent enough. Nothing is urgent enough for mental health. We no longer have a committee on mental health. Sometimes I think there is a movement coming from the public that will create a tsunami of protest. I believe that is the only way to get the Government to change its attitude to mental health.
