North London Forensic consortium

• Part of the New Care models programme for specialised mental health services, the North London Forensic consortium went live in April. It comprises of five trusts - Barnet, Enfield and Haringey Mental Health Trust (lead commissioner), Central and North West London FT, North East London FT, East London FT and West London Mental Health Trust. 
• According to Mark Landy talking to HSJ (3 May 2018) the consortium aims to bring back half of the 110 forensic patients currently out of area over the next two years and stop patients being sent out of area when a provider does not have a bed available.
