+ Mental Health Foundation
We regret that the option of a wholly tax-funded system has been rejected,
and believe this option should be reopened for further public discussion.
The three funding options set out lack the necessary detail to allow a
decision to be made on which is preferable.
We would have concerns about any transfer of disability benefits into the
social care pot. These benefits are a lifeline for tens of thousands of people
with mental health problems and people with learning disabilities, and is
money they can control and spend as they think best.
