'Take it seriously' | EAP boss disappointed by lack of mental health mentions in PM's Labour conference speech

The chief executive of a leading Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) provider has expressed disappointment over the absence of mental health provisions in Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer's recent address at the Labour Party Conference in Liverpool. 

Bertrand Stern-Gillet, CEO of Health Assured, noted that despite Labour’s commitments to improving the nation’s wellbeing, mental health - an issue that contributes to 63% of long-term work-related absences - was not directly mentioned.
