EXTRA mental-health staff will be on hand to help survivors and families of the victims of the Grenfell Tower fire to cope over Christmas, the local NHS trust announced yesterday.
Health professionals will attend tomorrow’s memorial service at St Paul’s Cathedral marking six months since the disaster in west London that killed 71 people.
Central & North West London NHS Trust has seen more than 1,800 people since June 14. More than half are adults identified as being in “urgent need” of treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
