Mental health services will soon be provided by a new NHS trust.

Surrey and Borders Partnership NHS Foundation Trust has been awarded the contract to provide the psychological therapies service in Barnet.

It will work with Richmond Fellowship, Multilingual Wellbeing Services and Psychology Online to help people who suffer from depression, anxiety and other mental health issues.

Andy Erskine, the trust's director of mental health services, said: “We are delighted to have this opportunity to expand our services to a wider geographical area, providing treatment to people living in Barnet who suffer from mild to moderate mental illness.”
