Healthcare Support: Integrating Mental Health with Primary Care

This act aims to improve access to mental health care by encouraging primary care doctors to integrate mental health services. This means citizens may more easily receive mental health support directly from their family doctor, potentially reducing wait times and improving treatment coordination. The act also provides support for medical facilities in implementing these changes.
Key points
Increased availability of mental health services through primary care physicians.
Doctors will receive additional payments for providing integrated mental health services from 2027 to 2029.
Medical practices will receive assistance in implementing new care models, making it easier for them to offer these services.
Funding for technical support to medical facilities for integrating mental health care.
