Mental Health PbR Discussion Group

2012-01-12T11:45:10Z

With the NHS developing mental health ‘care clusters’ in response to the shift to payment by results, and the Government also demanding the implementation of personalisation (which is a clear priority for local government), there is a real danger that these two policies are not ‘talking to one another’ and the mental health PbR systems will be developed in a way that runs counter to the aspirations of PbR. NDTi have produced a discussion document to help promote debate about how to avoid this happening and we would welcome your thoughts and contributions.

You can see the document at www.ndti.org.uk/who-were-concerned-with/mental-health/payment-by-results-and-personalisation-in-mental-health-services/ and it is also attached to this post.

We have already been discussing this issue with a number of interested parties, including SCIE, Think Local Act Personal and the SHAs. After allowing a period of time for people to comment, we will consider with those colleagues and others, how best to take this agenda forward.
