In England, the Department and NHS England are investing an additional £1.4 billion by 2019/20 to support the implementation of the Future in Mind transformation programme.

Lewisham Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) and Southwark CCG advise that they are working with the local authorities in Lewisham and Southwark to review local service provision jointly, using the transformation funding to improve and develop services.
