The Scottish Government has not started hiring 1,000 mental health specialists yet despite it being one of their key pledges from the last term of Government.
Ministers confirmed to Scottish Labour that the 2021/22 Programme for Government commitment has “not yet commenced” due to “difficult decisions” set out in November’s emergency budget review. The key promise said every GP practice would have access to a mental health and wellbeing service by 2026.
Labour have claimed that this shows that mental health was not a key priority for First Minister Humza Yousaf during his time as health secretary. The party's mental health spokesperson Paul Sweeney said Yousaf "cannot run away from this failure."
The 2021/22 Programme for Government stated that “By 2026, every GP Practice will have access to a mental health and wellbeing service, funding 1,000 additional dedicated staff who can help grow community mental health resilience and direct social prescribing.”
Mental health minister Maree Todd admitted that the recruitment of these roles has yet to begin in response to a Parliamentary Question submitted by Sweeney. But she stressed the Scottish Government was committed to strengthening mental health provision in primary care settings.
Labour mental health spokesman Paul Sweeney said the pause showed how seriously the Scottish Government is taking the “mental health crisis”. It comes as previous freedom of information data showed mental health calls to NHS 24 increased by almost 600 per cent between 2019 and 2022.
Public Health Scotland figures also showed the number of children seen by the Children and Adolescent Mental Health Services (Camhs) within the 18-week target is 70 per cent, below the 90 per cent target.
