London Assembly Health Committee Report: Men’s mental health in London

The London Assembly Health Committee has published the report: ‘Men’s mental health in London’. The report makes several recommendations including:

• The Government should develop an action plan to increase access to, and take up of, Talking Therapies amongst men.
• The Government should include a programme for tackling the stigma associated with mental health that prevents men from accessing services.
• The Government should provide sufficient funding to address waiting list times for vital mental health services for men in London.
• The Mayor should actively work with the Government to roll out the dedicated mental health emergency departments in London.
