🚨 Health Secretary Wes Streeting has confirmed today that the Mental Health Investment Standard (MHIS) will stay.
We are hugely relieved and grateful that the government has listened to calls from across the mental health sector to protect mental health funding.

📩 Dear @wesstreeting, by law you have to report to parliament once every year on the proportion of NHS spending on mental health.
Under your watch, will the mental health proportion of that annual spend go up or down?
📩 @Keir_Starmer, you promised to give mental health parity with physical health.
Under your watch, will mental health spending increase as a proportion of the NHS Budget every year?
And will you commit to maintaining the Mental Health Investment Standard to achieve this?
We stand in solidarity with Julie today over something that should never happen.
It's appalling to learn of such a significant and fundamental breach in standards.
Further action should be taken to ensure we can trust the people that care for us 👇
