Our Population

                             experience physical ill health and those with serious mental
                             illness are likely to die 15-20 years earlier than those without.

                     The number of people accessing mental health
                     services in Greater Manchester is almost double
                     the national rate (3,981 per 100,000 population

                        We continue to experience challenges in workforce availability.
