<p>The Mental Health Investment Standard requires clinical commissioning groups (CCGs)
to increase mental health investment in line with overall growth in their allocations.
The guidance noted “Each CCG must meet the Mental Health Investment Standard (MHIS)
by which their 2018/19 investment in mental health rises at a faster rate than their
overall programme funding. CCGs’ auditors will be required to validate their 2018/19
year-end position on meeting the MHIS”. It is for CCGs to plan on how these funds
should be deployed to develop mental health services locally.</p><p> </p><p>NHS England
recently published an updated Mental Health Five Year Forward View dashboard, which
brings together key data from across mental health services to measure the performance
of the National Health Service in delivering our plans to improve mental health services.
The dashboard provides the greatest transparency ever in how the NHS is performing,
alongside detail on how mental health services are funded and delivered at CCG level.
As such it gives a good indication of the effectiveness with which the increased finds
are translating into improved services. The dashboard can be found at the following
