The Northfield hustings of 26 May 2017. Q: Whilst we welcome the recent promise of more talking therapies, we would like to know what each party can offer to those with serious and enduring mental health issues, given there are currently very few beds and community mental health trusts and crisis services are overstretched. Speakers: Janet Chapman (chair), Roger Hemler (LD), Eleanor Masters (G), Meg Powell-Chandler (C), Richard Burden (Lab). Content note: some discussion of suicide.
