Mental health and learning disabilities

Mental Health has been a National Clinical Priority for some time, but the momentum for change in both service design and workforce development has been energised by recent legislative and policy developments

Whilst Delivering for Health focuses on shifting the balance to community basedcare and the HEAT outcome targets, the Mental Health Delivery Plan, (Delivering for Mental Health SEHD 2006) published on 5 December also emphasises the importance of redesigning acute services.
