One in four older people living in the community have symptoms of depression severe enough to warrant help, but only half are diagnosed and treated. A third of substance misuse patients with mental health needs do not receive any interventions. It also shows that many inpatients stay in hospital for months without needing to be there while they wait for transfer to local authority accommodation. And mental health research receives 6.5% of total research funding, compared with 25% for research into cancer and 15% for neurological diseases.
