“Excellently chaired Luciana Berger - you brought important political and economic context and energy to what was already a critical conversation about how we can extend the support to people with mental illness so that those who can and who want to are able to get back into work. Our work [at Mental Health UK] and our innovative Into Work programme builds on the incredible foundations of IPS and I hope we can all play a part in ensuring that support is there for people. Thank you for everything that you continue to do in the mental health sphere.” Chief Executive, Mental Health UK
