9. We want to know what services are available

We want easily available up-to-date information about mental health services in Manchester, both statutory and voluntary.
“There is a lack of information on what services are available. There should be a Directory of Services, published once a year. A user and carer group should be set up to organise it and forward it to GPs. Bolton has one, updated every 2 years.”

Outcome
10. Users of services have a simple way of finding out what support services are available (statutory and voluntary) and how to access them
How it should be monitored

Ask users, staff and GP’s if they know how to find out about services in Manchester, and what experiences they have had in getting such information.
