title: The Fair Deal campaign: a call to arms.
abstract: The UK healthcare economy is facing an unprecedented downturn, mental health services being particularly vulnerable.

However, like the College itself, it is only as strong as the membership, and requires individual commitment and involvement if it is to be effective.
