Mental Health Services

Response to this request is long overdue. By law, under all circumstances, Lancaster University should have responded by now (details). You can complain by requesting an internal review.

Dear Lancaster University,

As a follow-up to Ms Vella's request a few years ago, please could you update me with:

1. How many support service staff have been employed with a mental health remit (e.g. counselling, wellbeing) in each of the last 5 academic years. If a breakdown is not available for mental health staff, please provide a total for the closest possible category.
2. Budget for mental health support for each of the last 5 academic years, and where possible a breakdown on how that money is allocated, e.g. staff, marketing, equipment etc.
3. Number of students seeking mental health support in each of the last 5 academic years
4. Average waiting time for mental health support in each of the last 5 academic years
5. Any internal reports or reviews relating to mental health provision over the last 5 years.

Yours faithfully,

Sam Hope
