Commissioning for mental health
Abstract
Commissioning is integral to the Government's change agenda for public services with its crosscutting aims of keeping people well, improving overall health and reducing inequalities. Commissioning for mental health ‐ rather than merely for the treatment of people with mental health problems ‐ should be a defined and clear‐cut aspect of health and social care planning and investment. However, it remains a significant challenge for a number of reasons.
