- How can we fix England's failing mental health services?
- Date posted

- Description
- The latest Health and Social Care Committee report shows mental health services are at a crossroads.
We’re calling on the Government to extend the pilot of 24/7 Neighbourhood Mental Health Centres – so it can gather the evidence needed to roll them out nationwide. These centres offer a holistic service, providing individualised care and advice services for housing, employment and other issues. This could radically improve outcomes for people with severe mental illness.
Thank you to everyone who contributed to this inquiry, sharing their experience and expertise.

- Description
- In this session, MPs will question the leadership of regulator the Office for Rail and Road (ORR), which would continue to monitor the performance of GBR under the Government’s plans, but with changes to its powers of enforcement. The Committee is likely to ask whether GBR would have sufficient independence from Ministers under the new system and whether the ORR will have the tools it needs to be an effective regulator under the new system. This will include questions on whether the ORR can act as a realistic appeals route for operators, including freight companies, who want to use the railway network once GBR takes over.
There may be questions on the proposals to create a new passenger watchdog, to be grown out of Transport Focus.
MPs are also likely to ask about the way GBR would be provided with funding in five-year cycles to maintain and enhance rail infrastructure – whether this will be on terms that enable it to make long-term decisions.
