In Government

Over the past eight years, the Alliance has grown to incorporate members from of all of the major stakeholder groups in mental health and beyond. With this combined knowledge and experience, we have a great opportunity to influence the Mental Health Bill not only through our campaigns work, but also by contributing to the Department of Health's consultation processes and requests for stakeholder input during the drafting of the Mental Health Bill.

The Alliance sees influencing the Department of Health as an important part of its work. We think it is important to continue to offer real solutions to the problems in the Bill, and to present them as viable alternatives for as long as the Government is open to such input.
