In the Commons debate, Ms Hamilton, herself a former district nurse, called for a “multi-agency approach” that includes mental health services, housing, social care, and emergency responders.<\/p>\n
She urged investment in research and data collection to better understand the scale and impact of hoarding.<\/p>\n
Health minister Dr Zubir Ahmed MP responded by highlighting government efforts to expand mental health care, including 8,500 new workers and six pilot neighbourhood centres offering 24\/7 support.<\/p>\n
But he said there were no specific plans for a national hoarding strategy.<\/p>\n
“With love from families, patience from friends and the ongoing support of charities and third-sector organisations, countless people with hoarding disorder have managed to live safe, healthy and fulfilling lives,” he said.<\/p>\n
As the conversation around hoarding disorder moves from the shadows into the spotlight, campaigners hope this marks the beginning of a more compassionate and coordinated response.<\/p>\n
Ms Matuozzo said the momentum felt real, and she would not be surprised if a national strategy was developed over time.<\/p>\n
“I think we’ve got the guidelines now, once Paulette referred to in the chamber, and we \u2013 as social enterprises and charities – need to keep them as our mantra,” she said. “We’ll get there.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In the Commons debate, Ms Hamilton, herself a former district nurse, called for a “multi-agency approach” that includes…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":262810,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[49,48,84,393,394],"class_list":{"0":"post-262809","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mental-health","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-health","11":"tag-mental-health","12":"tag-mentalhealth"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/262809","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=262809"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/262809\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/262810"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=262809"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=262809"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=262809"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
