<p>Funding allocations to clinical commissioning groups vary to meet the needs of
local populations, including mental health need. These allocations are determined
by a formula managed for the National Health Service by the Advisory Committee on
Resource Allocation.</p><p>Clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) are required to continue
to increase investment in mental health services in line with the mental health investment
standard. In 2017/18, all CCGs met the standard. For 2019/20, the standard requires
CCGs to increase spend by at least their overall programme allocation growth, plus
an additional percentage increment to reflect the additional mental health funding
included in CCG allocations for 2019/20.</p>
