Ageism in Mental Health Services
Tens of thousands of over 65s are denied specialist mental health services because of age limits-that’s according to a new report launched by Lib Dem MP for Sutton and Cheam Paul Burstow.
Mental health services are based on age. This means until someone turns 65, they receive a range of support such as therapy, rehabilitation or interventions.
But, one year later they would be placed in an older people’s service where that support is not available.
The Royal College of Physicians wants to abolish this restriction and provide mental health services on the basis of need and not age.
Burstow agrees there should be no discrimination in the NHS and says there’s no reason for an older person to be denied the same care as someone younger.
