That the Parliament notes that one in four adults will experience mental ill health in their lifetime; recognises the enormous personal, social and economic costs of mental health problems, which are estimated to cost £10.7 billion per year in Scotland; further recognises that mental ill health is now the dominant health problem for people of working age, with it accounting for around 45% of all people not working due to ill health; notes that 13,986 people were waiting to start treatment with psychological therapy services in Scotland on 31 December 2013; understands with concern that 708 young people had been waiting more than 26 weeks for treatment; notes with concern that child and adolescent unit psychiatric hospital admissions in 2012-13 were 21.2 per 100,000, which is up from 19.2 in 2011-12; recognises the increasing demand for psychological therapies across Scotland and is concerned by the disparity in access to such therapies in different NHS board areas; would welcome an update from the Scottish Government on its commitment set out in the Mental Health Strategy for Scotland 2012-2015 to commission a 10-year follow up to the report, National Mental Health Services Assessment: Towards implementation of the Mental Health (Care and Treatment) (Scotland) Act 2003 (the Grant report) to review the state of mental health services in Scotland; believes that more work is needed to continue to reduce the stigma attached to mental health issues, and further believes that Scotland should follow the lead of the UK Government by enshrining in law parity between mental and physical health.
