PACE calls for more and better mental health services

[24/06/05] European governments need to put more money into mental health services to ensure quicker and easier access for most people, and involve patients, their families and practitioners more, according to PACE.

In a resolution adopted today, the parliamentarians said care provided in the community – rather than in institutions – can often mean a better quality of life for patients, but only if sufficient resources are transferred to make it work.

PACE also encouraged the use of multi-disciplinary care teams and a broad range of treatments.
