Payment by results and personalisation in mental health services
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 in the download section on the right which will give joining instructions for the discussion.
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.
