We remain committed to ensuring commissioners continue to meet the Mental Health Investment Standard. We continue to increase investment in mental health services from approximately £11 billion in 2015/16 to £15 billion in 2021/22. ‘Our plan for patients’ aligns with the NHS Long Term Plan’s commitments to expand National Health Service mental health services.
