It was our pleasure to have Dr. John Mulligan as our guest this week. With over 20 years experience in mental health in the region, Dr. Mulligan has frequently reached out to the press to raise awareness about the devastating impact austerity has had on Manchester’s early intervention service.
In this episode, we ask why - and who - has allowed this crisis to unfold, as austerity continues to hit society’s most vulnerable and under-represented the hardest. We also talk about how the growing influence of private healthcare companies is affecting the standard of care today.
We hope you enjoy this episode. If you want to support the podcast, you can subscribe to our email list for free and recommend the page to your friends. Thanks for listening!
