Current Policy

New GP consortia in England need to develop their skills and expertise in commissioning mental health services.

Schizophrenia is a serious and distressing mental illness. The Foundation wants to ensure that people with schizophrenia get the best possible care and support.

Many veterans (ex-service personnel) experience mental health problems, often relating to their experiences in the armed forces. Any such problems need to be addressed quickly and effectively.

The Government's proposals for NHS reform will only succeed if certain conditions are met, including expert GP commissioning of mental health services and service user agreed outcomes.

Physical health and mental health are inextricably linked. Action is needed to improve the physical health of people with mental health problems, and to make mental health a key public health priority.
