I'm aware that this discussion may get a little heated, but I hope that it stays away from getting too much so. I do not mean to cause offense or lead to any arguments. So here goes.
I woke up to this morning's headlines:
Health Secretary Wes Streeting is to launch an independent review into rising demand for mental health, ADHD, and autism services in England.
I haven't added the link to the article as I know this will trigger a delay to having this posted. But I'm thinking you will have seen this this morning.
I am so angry on so many levels. And I am hoping that the NAS is angry too and can respond to his move with a firm and robust response. Because.
Now, I am going to call it out. Mr Streeting, I think that this is what I would be calling: Discrimination. Discrimination with a big, fat capital D. Discrimination against a marginalised group. A vulnerable group. That deserves your protection and that you should have our back. As the HEALTH secretary. Shame on you. Shame on you.
I may not respond to any responses to my thread, if it gets too heated. And I am happy for the thread to get locked or removed.
It's time to Step Up.
