Excellence-approved model of employment support designed to help individuals with
severe and enduring mental illness (SMI) get into, and stay in work.</p><p> </p><p>United
Kingdom IPS provision has grown in recent years and the Government is committed to
a further expansion. In the 2018 Budget the Chancellor announced that the National
Health Service will expand IPS services to help patients with SMI, benefitting 55,000
people by 2023-24.</p><p> </p><p>We are not able to forecast at this stage how many
people will be supported to enter, or remain in work, or which parts of the country
will see these outcomes as a result of this expansion of IPS. However, the IPS model
is recognised both in the UK and internationally as the most effective way to help
individuals with SMI find and keep a job.</p>
