The SNP government is much further behind on mental health than we feared.
Waits for mental health treatment are getting worse, not better. We are still months away from having a new suicide strategy, even though the last one expired at the end of 2016.
A year ago campaigners warned that this strategy was not ambitious enough. Even by the modest goals that the Scottish Government set out, it has fallen short.
We want to see a step change in the way we treat mental ill health in Scotland.
Our plan would see a massive increase in funding for services and ensure people are treated with the dignity they deserve.
Mental health services have been neglected for too long. The time for action is now. If you agree, sign our petition today:
