Rushanara Ali MP has called the publication of funding figures for mental health services of children and young people a ‘disgrace’ after the Royal College of Psychiatrists revealed that only £4.45 per head had been allocated in Tower Hamlets for the whole of the 2016/17 financial year.

With Armistice Day approaching, Rushanara Ali MP has pressed the government on its duty of care for the mental health of military veterans.

Rushanara Ali MP questioned Government Ministers on local authorities and mental health trusts freezing or cutting funding for mental health treatment for children and young adults.
