Below are contact details if you who wish to have a say in the running of Mental Health services provided by the N.H.S.
The Government now requires local health authorities to consult and involve service users in the development and running
of N.H.S. mental health services. If you participate in a commitee or conference you are likely to be paid about £5 an
hour. This should not affect your benefits, unless you are very involved!
