Commenting on the rollout of the 111 press 2 mental health line in Wales, the Member of the Senedd for Vale of Clwyd, Gareth Davies MS, Said:
“For far too long, patients in Denbighshire and across North Wales suffering from mental health issues have felt no other option other than to go to A&E or suffer in silence at home when lifesaving help has been conceivably possible at speed over the phone.
“Charities had filled the void previously, but I hope that the new provisions with the new 111 press 2 service, that I support, can help provide that much needed help and support that people in crisis need.
“This is just one of a number of measures that needs implementation if we are to address the major problems facing mental health services in the local area and across North Wales.”
