Paul Farmer, Chief Executive of Mind said :
"These figures reveal the patchy state of people's experiences of mental health care. Service user involvement shouldn't be seen as an option in delivering treatment, but a necessity - it's alarming that half the people surveyed had no say in the medication they were prescribed, hadn't seen any care plan for their treatment, and haven't had any access to talking treatments, despite NICE recommendations. With 50 per cent of people still having no access to crisis help, further progress is crucial."
The Healthcare Commisison report No voice, no choice: A joint review of adult community mental health services in England can be found at the Healthcare Commission website.
