Walsall Clinical Commissioning Group advises that it is delivering services to support the intentions laid out in the Five Year Forward View for Mental Health. This will identify mental health needs at an earlier opportunity and provide community support and treatment to reduce the use of crisis inpatient services going forward.

Commissioners across the Black Country Sustainability and Transformation Partnership area have assessed local service provision and are working collaboratively to address gaps in services and deliver improved service delivery across the region. This includes potentially jointly commissioning services.
