Mental health charity calls for recruitment of service users

Radical solutions are needed to tackle staff shortages in mental
health services, says the Sainsbury Centre for Mental Health.

The charity states that many organisations simply make the best
use of current resources and do not explore how things could be
done differently.

One way of expanding the workforce would be to support service
users entering employment in mental health services.

As many as 10,000 new workers are needed to fill vacancies in
the mental health field says the charity.
