Changes to Mental Health services around Cambridge
Cambridge City and South Cambridgeshire Primary Care Trusts, part of the local NHS, have launched a public consultation on potential changes to mental health services in their areas. The consultation commenced on 10 October 2005 and will close on 13 January 2006.
This consultation is being undertaken in the context of the Primary Care Trusts spending £4 million more than they are allocated nationally for mental health services.
