Joint Adult Mental Health Commissioning Strategy

Overview

This draft joint commissioning strategy on mental health in Leicester aims to improve services and people’s experience of them by focusing on factors affecting health and wellbeing, developing prevention and early intervention services and appropriate care, while at the same time addressing major financial challenges.

The strategy has been produced with the involvement of all partners, including carers, service users and professionals.

Why your views matter

At a time of increasing pressures on funding it is important that we focus our resources on those who need the most support, whilst continuing to enable those with lower needs to improve or maintain their health, wellbeing and independence.

Not only do we have a legal responsibility to consult, but we also recognise that in order to provide the best support and services we need to involve those who provide services, those who use services and those who support others to access services.

This is our draft strategy. It sets out our direction of travel and key priorities over the next three years.

This is your opportunity to tell us if you think we have got it right and, if not, what needs to change.
