EDP raises mental health funding as one of eight regional issues PM needs to know about

Dear David

It is fantastic to see the EDP raising mental health funding as one of the eight issues it believes David Cameron needs to know about our region:

MENTAL HEALTH: An investigation by the EDP last autumn revealed that the Norfolk and Suffolk mental health trust had ordered a review into the reasons behind a spike in unexpected deaths in Norfolk after 20 patients in their care died during a five-month spell.
