Mental health charities launch guides to improve local mental health services

Mental health charities launch guides to improve local mental health services:
Following the publication of the implementation framework for the government’s mental health strategy, these briefings set out the steps that local authorities, NHS commissioning groups and others can take to improve mental health care, treatment and support.

The briefings explain in practical terms the ways that the new clinical commissioning groups, local authorities, directors of public health, overview and scrutiny committees, local healthwatch and health and wellbeing boards can make sure that there are good quality mental health services in their local area as well as improving mental health and wellbeing for everyone in the community.
