Legal advice could be given in GP surgeries to address issues which could exacerbate mental health problems, the Ministry of Justice has said.

The move was announced as part of the government review of legal aid reforms - introduced in England and Wales in 2013 to cut the £2bn budget by £350m.

The MoJ said legal aid would receive up to £8m extra to support its services.
