A COUNCIL is seeking views from residents, voluntary organisations and carers on the future of community mental health
Sunderland City Council social services and co-ordination review committee chairman, Councillor Norma Wright, said: "We would really like to hear if our thoughts and findings meet the aspirations of local people."
The social services and health review committee is looking at ease of availability and choice for residents.
A number of findings have been prepared, and councillors would like to share their thoughts before making recommendations to NHS and council decision-makers.
Martin Clarke, locality director for Sunderland at the South of Tyne and Wearside Mental Health Trust, said: "The review committee is to be congratulated.
"I shall be very interested in its recommendations. These will be powerful for us, as they have been informed by hearing from local people."
A free event is being held in the Directors' Suite at the Stadium of Light, from 11am to 1pm on Friday. Places are limited. Anyone wishing to attend should contact Paul Staines on 0191-553 1006.
