Answered by Stephen Kinnock - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care) The following table shows the recurrent National Health Service baseline, the total forecast mental health spend, and the proportion of NHS funding forecasted to be allocated to mental health services, which is only available in the format required under section 3(2) of the Health and Care Act 2022 from 2022/23 to 2024/25:
Source: Department of Health and Social Care Written Ministerial Statements. The forecast figures for mental health spend are different from those in the NHS Mental Health Dashboard, which also includes spend on learning disabilities and dementia. The dashboard also compares integrated care board (ICB) mental health spend to ICB allocations, whereas the figures above compare projected total mental health spend to the recurrent NHS Mandate, which includes spending across ICBs, service development funding, and specialised commissioning. The following table shows the number of Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs), now integrated care boards (ICBs), meeting the Mental Health Investment Standard (MHIS), each year from 2016/17 to 2023/24:
Source: NHS Mental Health Dashboard, NHS England Note: between 2020/21 and 2021/22, there was a methodology change in how CCG base allocation was calculated. Calculation of the MHIS does not include spend on learning disabilities, autism, dementia, and specialised commissioning.
