New Statutory body as an alternative to the NHS for mental health and hidden disability

Now that advances in medical science has uncovered more people in modern times, children, adolescents and adults alike, including in the post-Covid era, with mental health and hidden disabilities including autism, is it not now time to set up a separate statutory body, properly funded and properly managed, entirely seperate from the NHS, dealing exclusively with all mental health and hidden disability issues? We all know the problems of the NHS that have been going on for decades and are well-documented, of mismanagement and wastage, so is it not time for a fresh start with a new body, alongside implementing reforms within the NHS?

  • If it's OK will make post here and then move on - I've learnt a lot from this thread however acknowledge that it's special interest and all this is "work in progress"

    I have however this metaphor about this this morning:  (these are my thoughts and ideas and my lived experience but I have used AI to help me bring them together and shape them)

    Motorsport racing drivers aim directly at the apex of a crash that appears on track before them, it feels completely counter intuitive to a survival instinct.  An untrained driver panics, get fixated at the wreckage and swerves blindly into the track walls or the wreckage.  The trained driver understands physics and momentum etc and by the time that they arrive of the apex of the crash the crashing cars have moved on - leaving the clear space behind them that the trained driver goes thro'.

    So anyone who is still reading this might think what's that got to do with the original post?

    Well:

    In respect of the politics - those in charge and the bureaucrats look at the "crash" that is the problems with mental health and neurodivergnt experience (or in practice whatever the latest scandal is) and yank the "steering wheel" of power violently towards centralisation or cuts - causing a crash directly into burnout and roadblocks that are the mental health crises and neurodivergent people being trapped into having no way to progress.

    In respect of the system design I've been proposing in this thread I have been suggesting ignoring the panic reacion.  Like trying to patch up the "crashing car" that is the NHS and stopping the "wartime triage" that is constantly applied of only treating people after they are broken.  I have been trying to analyse the momentum of the system.  I have been trying to aim directly at the apex of the crash - the root cause.

    I suggest that designing independent hubs, universal sensory standards and personal executive liability - knowing that when the old crashing structures move out of the way a clear functioning path opens up to move thro'.

    Bureaucrats and politicians (including tyrants) try to "play it safe" with rigid control and swerving the steering wheel from side to side as they race us towards oblivion and beyond.  This is what actually guarantees the crash and the subsequent pile up and the injuries.

    Notwithstanding that I believe to answer the original OP we need to recognise things that have led to accidents and injury before in order to have the continue we need to find "the space in between" these things and aim at that.  I'm relying mostly on logic myself to do this I think that it also takes courage and training.
