Grant of Nearly £10m For Mental Health Research in East England

It has been revealed that National Institute of Health Research has provided grant of nearly £10m to Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust.

The trust has been awarded with the funds as they have been carrying out a research on mental health care. Main aim of the research is to come up with ways by which level of care for people with mental health condition can be improved in the East of England.

There are two areas at which the trust is concentrating on and those areas are dementia and patient safety. Professor Peter Jones, Director of the project, said that they will be coming with different projects that will aim to bring a change in the lives of people.

Professor Jones said that their previous work has made them reach at a conclusion that people having moderate anxiety can be treated with telephone counselling.

Health Minister Lord Howe said, "It is vital that we invest in health research, not only to create the opportunities for health research to grow - but also to help our economy thrive".

Professor Dame Sally Davies was very happy that they have been able to announce such schemes. He is quite hopeful that they will benefit from this scheme.
