HSJ 3 May 2019

  • "HSJ can reveal." NHS England has invited providers to take on specialised commissioning powers across the country, in a major expansion of its mental health new care models programme. The organisation has set a new target for setting up “provider collaboratives” - which are expected to take on the responsibilities and budgets - across the whole of England by 2022, and in 75 per cent of areas by 2020.
  • Services included are: children and adolescent mental health inpatient services, adult secure mental health services, and adult eating disorder services.
