Half of A&Es to have specialist mental health teams by 2019 Plans to implement 24-hour specialist mental health teams in almost half of A&Es across the country have been revealed by NHS England, who hope for the scheme to cover five times more A&Es than now by March 2019.
The service is currently operating in only 10% of emergency departments, but NHS England say they hope to instate it into nearly half in two years.
The news was announced in NHS England’s update to the Five Year Forward View, which outlined a number of new aims and initiatives to tackle chronic problems within mental health care nationally. National Health Executive
