Mental health providers are already beginning to report a `` significant increase in demand and the severity '' of patients seeking help , the report states @ @ @ @ @ @ @ health urged the government to take action now backing NHS Providers ' calls for a strategic national plan .
As part of this the report urges the government to ensure that mental health trusts have enough personal protective equipment ( PPE ) for staff , that they have the funds they need and enough staff to match the rise in demand .
`` The way that mental health trusts have adapted and innovated to maintain services and support the response to Covid-19 is nothing short of remarkable , '' said Saffron Cordery , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ `` However , trusts need support now to navigate the next stage of the pandemic and meet the pressures their services will continue to face in the weeks and months ahead , given the predicted surge in demand for mental health care as lockdown eases .
`` This includes adequately prioritising their needs for PPE , testing , and investment in their estate , and fully and promptly funding the required expansion of services , on a sustainable basis , to meet the extra need created by the pandemic .
`` Despite substantial @ @ @ @ @ @ @ levels of investment , we know there was a significant care deficit in mental health before this pandemic .
Without urgent action , the impact of COVID-19 will make that much worse .
We can and must not let that happen . ''
Shadow Cabinet Minister for Mental Health Dr Rosena Allin-Khan said : `` Mental Health trusts must not be forgotten in this crisis .
“ With a surge in demand for mental health services expected , the government must have a plan in place for both our brave staff on the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to use these services .

"The way that mental health trusts have adapted and innovated to maintain services and support the response to Covid-19 is nothing short of remarkable," said Saffron Cordery, deputy chief executive of NHS Providers .
"However, trusts need support now to navigate the next stage of the pandemic and meet the pressures their services will continue to face in the weeks and months ahead, given the predicted surge in demand for mental health care as lockdown eases.
"This includes adequately prioritising their needs for PPE, testing, and investment in their estate, and fully and promptly funding the required expansion of services, on a sustainable basis, to meet the extra need created by the pandemic.
"Despite substantial progress, with new services and higher levels of investment, we know there was a significant care deficit in mental health before this pandemic. Without urgent action, the impact of COVID-19 will make that much worse. We can and must not let that happen."

Executive Producer Jane Hudson explained that Emmerdale has made use of "clever camera tricks" so that 2-meter distancing didn't look odd on screen.

She said: "You'll be amazed when you watch the lockdown episodes because you won't really realise that they are two meters apart. There are some very clever camera tricks we have used.
"There's [also] a lot of choreography on the set at the moment."
However, she added that there may be moments when characters are expected to hug each other but don't.
6. Intimate scenes will still be shown - with a difference
Kissing and hugging scenes, unsurprisingly, won't be shown on screen, but they will be using different methods to show intimate scenes.
Jane said: "There will be lots of intent, which actors can pull off. There will be lots of looks of intent and edging towards stares. They will be arriving back in scenes [as they] tuck shirts in."
7. Bosses spoke to crew on other soaps about how to proceed with filming
Jane revealed that Emmerdale had been chatting to show bosses at EastEnders, Hollyoaks, Coronation Street, Shortland Street and Neighbours ahead of their return to filming.
She said: "Initial conversations were like, 'How the hell are we going to do this?' and then we were like, 'Ok, we've got a way to do this' and 'We've thought about this'."

A child was airlifted to hospital after a fall from a high window onto a street below, witnesses say.
Police were called to King and Queen Street in Walworth, South London, at 7.31pm today.
The child, whose gender and age are unknown, was airlifted to hospital 'for assessment', police say.
A witness said they saw the child fall from a window, although this has not been officially confirmed.
London’s Air Ambulance was seen landing in Nursery Row Park just before 8pm, the MailOnline report.
A spokesman for Metropolitan police told MailOnline: "A child fell from height at 1931hrs at an address in King & Queen Street, SE17.

"The child has been taken to hospital for assessment. No crime scene is in place."
It comes days after a toddler was left fighting for her life after she fell 40ft from her bedroom window in a block of flats.
Residents from the building in Portsmouth described how they heard a "massive thud" when the two-year-old girl reportedly fell from her bedroom window.
She too was airlifted to hospital following the 'complete accident' in Portsmouth, Hants, around 6pm yesterday.

Neighbours said her mum was 'hysterical' while her dad rushed to her aid as she lay seriously injured on the street.
Hampshire Constabulary said it is investigating the incident which caused 'life threatening injuries' and officers today carried out enquiries at the scene.
Neighbours said the child's bed in the flat is close to the window, leading to the fall.
Eye witness Emma Reilly, 31, said a metal telephone junction box on the street below the child's window broke her fall and if it wasn't for that the toddler 'would have died for sure'.
Mrs Reilly, who lives in the block, said: "I heard a massive thud from outside and at first I thought someone had been run over.
"But when I looked down from my window I could see the baby lying on the floor.
"I shouted down to her mum because she had obviously been in the bath and had a towel around her head but came to the window to see what the commotion was.
"I shouted 'that's your baby, that's your baby!'. I think her husband had legged it downstairs at this point.
"It was horrible to see."
