There's a recently announced £1.2bn funding for community MH services, to be delivered in a way that's less focussed on diagnosis and more on need. There's strong regional variation in English MH services. This is because of the free market changes introduced by the Lansley reforms. We're struggling to move away from those in a way that doesn't destroy the NHS. All the work around ICSs and STPs should help a bit, especially if NHSE+I start to devolve some of the specialist commissioning budget to local services.
