The Five Year Forward View for Mental Health report outlines recommendations to transform mental health services in the UK's National Health Service (NHS) over five years. It is based on input from over 20,000 people and aims to improve access to high quality mental health services, integrate physical and mental healthcare, and focus on prevention. The report recommends over £1 billion in additional NHS funding by 2020/21 to help an additional 1 million people of all ages and was fully endorsed by the UK government. An implementation plan was also developed to achieve goals like reducing suicide rates and increasing access to services like children's mental healthcare by 2020. The voluntary sector is expected to support the rollout at national and local levels through advocacy, accountability, and potentially

Five Year Forward View for Mental Health
Prime Minister: “If you suffer from
mental health problems, there's not
enough help to hand.”
Simon Stevens: “Putting mental and
physical health on an equal footing
will require major improvements in 7
day mental health crisis care, a large
increase in psychological treatments,
and a more integrated approach to
how services are delivered. That’s
what today's taskforce report calls
for, and it's what the NHS is now
committed to pursuing.”

4. To develop a Mental Health Five Year Forward View for action by the NHS arms-length bodies,
including:
• Engaging experts by experience and carers to co-produce priorities for change
• Focusing on people of all ages – taking a ‘life course approach’
• Address equality and human rights
• Enabling cross-system leadership
• Making comprehensive recommendations on data and requirements to implement changes,
monitor improvement and increase transparency
• Assess priorities, costs and benefits as well as identifying and addressing key risks and issues
Aims and scope of the Taskforce

5. • 20,000 responses to online survey
• 250 participants in engagement
events hosted by Mind and Rethink
Mental Illness
• 60 people engaged who were
detained in secure mental health

alternative to hospital
No acute hospital is
without all-age mental
health liaison services,
and at least 50% of acute
hospitals are meeting the
‘core 24’ service
standard
The number of people
with SMI who can access
evidece based Individual
Placement and Support
(IPS) will have doubled
60% people experiencing
a first episode of

NICE concordant care
within 2 weeks
10% reduction in suicide

by 2017,
At least 30,000 more
