Health inequalities

No specific relevant data on ECT was found, but health inequalities in accessing mental health treatments remain a concern in the UK. Factors such as geographical variations, socioeconomic status, and stigma can limit access. The workforce shortage reported by the Royal College of Psychiatrists (see the 'System Impact' heading above) may affect ECT delivery while funding limitations could restrict access and equity.
