Lords ChamberMy noble friend is absolutely right. I am glad he finished by referring to quality in outcomes rather than just activity. That is the critical thing about getting the tariff right, that it is based not just on activity but on quality in outcomes.
In responding to the task force report, is it the Government’s intention to produce a mental health strategy that will encompass all the issues, including the funding?
Together, the task force report, the report produced by the noble Lord, Lord Crisp, and the earlier report on children and young people really do comprise a strategy for mental health for the next five years.
