Chiefs at Kent and Medway Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) say greater investment in mental health services is needed as they have forecast a major rise in demand from the fallout of the coronavirus pandemic and lockdowns.
Caroline Selkirk, who is the CCG's executive director for health improvement, said: "We are in a fortunate position that we have unprecedented levels of funding and investment available in mental health over the next five years."
