answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/10/2018 answer text <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.

tabling member printed	Lord Crisp
uin	HL5607
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/03/2018 answer text <p>The Government set parity of esteem in physical and mental health in law in the Health and Social Care Act 2012. The independent Mental Health Taskforce’s <em>Five Year Forward View for Mental Health </em>report in February 2016 and July 2016 <em>Implementing the Five Year Forward View for Mental Health</em> plan set out detailed recommendations for achieving parity of esteem between physical and mental healthcare. Copies of both reports are attached. The <em>Government’s response to the Five Year Forward View for Mental Health </em>report accepted all the report’s recommendations in January 2017 and created a detailed action plan for taking forward the recommendations, including how we will monitor progress and report transparently. A copy of the <em>Government’s response</em> is attached. The report set out a strategy for change in four key areas to drive forward improvements in mental health: promoting good mental health and helping people lead the lives they want to live, integrating care, creating a seven day National Health Service for mental health and hard wiring mental health across health and social care.</p><p>NHS England’s Mental Health Investment Standard also requires the local NHS to increase mental health investment by at least the same proportion as overall allocations. This is planned to be met across England as a whole in 2017/18 and 2018/19. For 2018/19 all clinical commissioning groups will be required to meet the Mental Health Investment Standard and this will be subject to confirmation by their auditors.</p> answering member printed Lord O'Shaughnessy attachment 1 file name Mental-Health-Taskforce-FYFV-final.pdf title Mental Health Five Year Forward View 2 file name Implementing_the_FYFV_MH.pdf title Implementing the Five Year Forward View 3 file name FYFV_mental_health__government_response.pdf title Govt Response to Five Year Forward View question first answered 05/03/2018 17:44:57 answering member 4545 label Biography information for Lord O'Shaughnessy

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/03/2018 answer text <p>The Department does not generally ring-fence budgets within the National Health Service. The Health and Social Care Act 2012 gave clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) the autonomy to make decisions about the health services that best meet the health needs of their population.</p><p>They do this based on evidence of patient needs locally.
