This project will focus on two key areas:
It will aim to identify gaps and opportunities for development to improve the quality of mental health services and support the delivery of the recommendations in the national strategy in these two areas. The project will result in a report that will be available to commissioners and providers to support their future commissioning decisions and service delivery.
We are also asking for any additional information that commissioners and providers feel would be helpful in informing this work, such as an up-to-date list of services in their area and specifications for any of the services they commission or provide.
If you have any queries please contact Jose Hernandez, Project Manager on 0113 825 5535.
