answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/12/2022 answer text <p>The National Institute for Health and Care Research welcomes funding applications for research into any aspect of human health, including trauma informed care. However, it is not usual practice to ring-fence funds for particular topics or conditions. Applications are subject to peer review and judged in open competition, with awards made on the basis of the importance of the topic to patients and health and care services, value for money and scientific quality. We have recently published a working definition of trauma informed practice for the health and care sector.</p> answering member constituency Lewes answering member printed Maria Caulfield question first answered 23/12/2022 14:47:48 answering member 4492 label Biography information for Maria Caulfield

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/11/2022 answer text <p>The vision for community mental health services in England has similarities with the model developed in Trieste, particularly around offering holistic, person-centred care and building partnerships between mental health services and voluntary and social enterprises. Through the NHS Long Term Plan, we will invest an additional £1 billion in community mental health care for adults with severe mental illness by 2023/24. This will allow 370,000 adults and older adults with severe mental illnesses, including eating disorders, greater choice and control over their care and support them to live well in their communities.</p><p> </p><p>‘The Community Mental Health Framework for Adults and Older Adults’, published in 2019, describes the Long Term Plan’s vision for a place-based community mental health model and how community services should transform, which is available at the following link:</p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.england.nhs.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/community-mental-health-framework-for-adults-and-older-adults.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.england.nhs.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/community-mental-health-framework-for-adults-and-older-adults.pdf</a></p><p> </p><p>These models will be fully integrated across primary and community mental health services and centred around Primary Care Networks. This will deliver improved access to psychological therapies, improved physical health care, employment support, personalised and trauma informed care, medicines management and support for self-harm and co-existing substance use.</p> answering member constituency Lewes answering member printed Maria Caulfield question first answered 22/11/2022 17:50:13 answering member 4492 label Biography information for Maria Caulfield
