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.

Councillors are spending our money for us
The pay of some of our councillors has increased by 20 percent since they were elected in 2006.

Allowances have increased by more than 5 million pounds since the town hall elections three years ago.

This has cost the tax payer an estimated 31 million in the last year alone.

13 of the 32 boroughs ran up bills in excess of 1 million pounds a year with senior councillors receiving salaries of 40 thousand or more.

Merrick Cockell, the Tory leader of Kensington and Chelsea, is the best paid old style council leader.

He received over 66 thousand from his council plus 21 thousand from the other London councils.

An investigation by the evening standard has revealed Croydon paid the most in allowances and expenses.

It ran up a bill of over a million pounds last year which saw leader Mike Fisher earning a whopping 53 thousand pounds.

Lib Dem run Kingston came out as the cheapest – it only handed out 600 thousand pounds in wages.
