Mental Health Services: Finance
(asked on 3rd November 2016) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, pursuant to the Answer of 17 October 2016 to Question 46905, what estimate he has made of the total investment required to increase spending on mental health each year in line with the growth of clinical commissioning groups overall funding allocations.
NHS England is responsible for the monitoring and evaluation of the effectiveness of public expenditure on community mental health services. The Department holds NHS England to account for improving mental health services through the NHS Mandate. NHS England publishes an annual progress report on its performance against the NHS Mandate.
In 2016/17, NHS England developed the Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) Improvement and Assessment Framework which measures the performance of CCGs against key priorities including those in the NHS Mandate.
The table below sets out the expected minimum increase in CCG spending as a result of the Mental Health Investment Standard.
