Joint Statement: Community Mental Health Gaps Continue to Widen in NSW, Says New Report from NSW Health
NSW Health has released a new report into gaps in the NSW community mental health system, the first of two gap analysis reports, detailing the difference between demand for mental health services in NSW and the level of service currently available.
The NSW Mental Health Alliance welcomes the release of this initial gap analysis as a first step in long-term mental health reform in NSW. The results of this analysis once again show how far NSW has slipped behind other states in terms of mental health funding and highlight how many people are impacted by the underfunding of mental health services in this state.
