Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the performance of the NHS in meeting the standard set in the Five Year Forward View for Mental Health that at least 25 per cent of Early Interventions in Psychosis Services should meet level three standards by 2018/19.

Data on Early Intervention in Psychosis (EIP) services is included in the NHS Mental Health Dashboard, which brings together data from across mental health services to measure performance. The most recent Dashboard shows that 18% of EIP services nationally and 6% of services in the East of England region achieved level-3 National Institute for Health and Care Excellence concordance in 2018/19.

NHS England and NHS Improvement’s East of England Regional Team is supporting these services to move towards a standalone model and is committed to achieving the NHS Long Term Plan goal of having 95% of services operating at level 3 by 2023/24.
