Norfolk and Suffolk Foundation Trust (Mental Health)

Mental health provision has long been an issue very close to my heart – having seen through close friends and family how mental health problems can often destroy lives.

That’s why I pay such close attention to the issue of mental health here in Norfolk, and why I really appreciated the opportunity to chat with Stuart Richardson, Chief Executive of the Norfolk and Suffolk Foundation Trust, this past week.

Stuart and I talked through some of the key steps being taken by the Trust to boost standards and improve the services that its patients receive. We also explored how the Trust can strengthen communication with local MPs and I look forward to helping him and the team bring those ideas to fruition.

Rest assured, I remain firmly committed to doing all I can to support Stuart and the Trust in the weeks and months ahead.
