Following evaluation of these schemes by 2015 and Treasury approval of a full business case in 2015, NHS England will roll out to cover 100% coverage of the population by 2017-18.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Improving offender mental health is a priority for the Government, as set out in the mental health strategy <em>No Health, Without Mental Health </em>in 2011.
