Campaign urges voters to make mental health a general election priority

A national coalition will this evening urge voters in the upcoming general election to make mental health a priority.

The meeting in the Metropole Hotel, to be attended by Minister of State Kathleen Lynch, will be an opportunity for the public to hear where political parties stand on mental health.

The coalition body, Mental Health Reform — which represents 51 groups — said the event will also permit the public to share any concerns about the issue with candidates.
