He warned parties working in the UK health sector about this Structures of the National Health Service (SSN). The NHS is ill-equipped to deal with a hidden mental health ‘para-pandemic’, leaving many patients without adequate care.
The high cost of living crisis and the consequences caused by the “Covid” epidemic have caused an increase in the number of people suffering from health problems sanity in the UK. But health experts warn that the real scale of the problems could be much wider, because it’s impossible to say how many people might later come forward for treatment.
In this context, Saffron Corderie, interim managing director of ‘Providers NHS’, which represents hospital and ambulance institutions affiliated to the ‘NHS’, indicated that the scale of the problem had become imperative to be addressed quickly, while the His institution had previously estimated that there were around eight million people in need of mental health care who did not have access to it.

This comes at a time when recent data released by the NHS show an estimated 25% of people aged 17-19 suffer from a mental health problem, an increase on last year’s rate, which it was about 17 percent.
In an interview with The Independent, Cordery said: “During my last conversation with a CEO [لأحد مستشفيات “أن أتش أس”]I learned from him that their analysis of deteriorating mental health in recent years – in terms of the number of people suffering from these conditions and disorders – is a “parapandemic”. I agree with him in this assessment. We must act quickly to address the growing need for mental health care that is not being addressed.”
And the Corderie underlined that the cases of mental health “remained hidden and unreported”, at a time when the structures of the “National Health Service” were having difficulty coping with the effects of the “Covid” epidemic, and since then there has been an increase in the number of people in need of assistance and access to mental health services.
“Those we are talking about are just people whose cases we have been able to diagnose,” the NHS official added. And he felt that “what should concern us is with regard to people who have not yet applied to obtain the necessary treatment for their mental well-being”.
On the other hand, he warned that this situation could get worse, because the high cost of living can multiply mental health problems.
The crisis is expected to have two consequences: the first is an increase in the number of people experiencing mental health problems for the first time, while the second is associated with some individuals who have experienced mental health problems before and whose mental disorder health will deteriorate.
Rosina Allen Khan, shadow minister for mental health in the opposition Labor government, said, for her part, that “the demand for mental health care is on the rise, as many patients, including children, spend days in emergency, waiting for beds in mental health wards”.
“The government simply does not have the means to deal with the crisis. Without timely treatment, mental illnesses will only get worse,” he added.
And Khan considered that “after nearly 12 years of mismanagement by the ‘Conservative’ party, our public services and economy are on the brink of the abyss.”
The Independent revealed last month that patients with mental illness were finding it increasingly difficult to get help at all levels of NHS settings. Some wait up to eight days in ’emergency’ wards to receive a hospital bed, while record numbers face ‘unacceptable’ delays in the number of referrals.
The latest figures show that more than 16,000 adults and 20,000 children expected to receive NHS care are unable to access vital services every month.
Marc Rowland, managing director of the Mental Health Foundation [منظمة خيرية تعنى بمساعدة الناس على فهم وضع صحتهم العقلية والحفاظ عليها] She said ‘NHS facilities are doing a fantastic job, but we know that our mental health services, like our health services, are under tremendous stress and have been pushed to breaking point. A prevention-focused approach it is now more needed than ever.” past.”
He also cautioned that research has shown that financial stress and poverty are “major contributors” to the rise in mental health problems. “If the Government does not take clear preventive action to support people and communities, there will be an increase in these cases across the UK and there will be an increased demand for mental health services,” she said.
“We know from past recessions that large investments in community and labor market programs protect the mental health of vulnerable people and save lives,” Rowland added. In particular, you have called for more training for frontline civil servants, such as debt counselors and job center workers. He believed such measures would have a positive economic impact.
Commenting on the above, a spokeswoman for the UK Department of Health and Social Care said: ‘We know the pandemic has affected not only people’s physical health, but also their mental health, and therefore the mental health services of the’ NHS” remained available to all, All mental health hospitals have set up hotlines for people with mental health problems.
He concluded by saying that the government is increasing investment in NHS mental health services by around £2.3 billion (US$2.78 billion) a year up to 2024, meaning another two million people will be able to get support in the field of mental health Funded by the National Health Service.
