<p>NHS England remains committed to the continued development and improvement of all
services, including neuropsychiatry. Neuropsychiatry covers a broad spectrum of mental
health support, for people with a broad spectrum of neurological conditions, and as
such, provision of neuropsychiatry falls within the care pathway of a range of services.</p><p>The
provision of neuropsychiatry is included in, and will be strengthened within, the
updated neurology service specification, neurosurgery specification, and complex rehabilitation
service specification. The requirement and scope of a standalone neuropsychiatry service
specification is being discussed with the Royal College of Psychiatry and mental health
colleagues.</p><p>The Neurology Clinical Reference Group (CRG) will continue to lead
this work and take forward discussions with the Royal College of Psychiatry, which
is represented on both the Neurology CRG and Complex Rehabilitation and Disability
CRG, and is contributing to the development of the service specifications listed above.</p>
