This year's parade featured the T-14 tank, Kurganets-25 series armoured fighting vehicles and the Bumerang armoured personnel carrier. We judge that all three systems represent significant improvement over their predecessors.<\/p>
The T-14 will have improved projectile performance; a gun launched anti-tank guided missile capability and increased crew survivability.<\/p>
The T-14, Kurganets-25 and Bumerang will have the new and improved Epoch remote controlled turret. Advanced defensive aid suites are likely to be common to all new vehicle types.<\/p>

The implementation of Mental Health Crisis Care Concordat action plans is a matter for local areas, each of which has signed a declaration stating that local police, health, local government and other partners will be jointly responsible for improving crisis care for people with mental health needs in their areas.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
By May this year, every area in England had published a local crisis care concordat action plan. Before publication, these were each reviewed jointly by the Department and the mental health charity Mind, to make sure that plans were of sufficient quality. In particular, the Department expected plans to address the specific requirements for crisis services set out in NHS England\u2019s The Forward View Into Action: Planning for 2015/16. The Department and Mind worked closely with local areas to help them make refinements and improvements to their draft plans before publication. These action plans are all considered subject to continual review and improvement, and Mind is currently working with local areas to follow up the suggestions for even further improvements that were made at the time of publication.<\/p>

Local Transformation Plans were proposed in Future in Mind<\/em> (March 2015). The aim of these plans is to bring together local commissioners from the National Health Service, local authorities and schools, and have them clearly set out how they will make progress on child and adolescent mental health. NHS England and the Department are working with partners jointly to produce national guidance to support the development of local transformation plans. The expectation is that NHS England will publish the guidance in early July. Clinical networks have been working locally to support joint planning. NHS England and partners will be developing further resources and support over the summer which will be available both to clinical commissioning groups and partner organisations to build on their initial plans in the medium and long term to achieve the ambition set out in Future in Mind<\/em>.<\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> In the interim, NHS England has written to all clinical commissioning groups encouraging them to work with their partners from across the NHS, public health, local authority, youth justice and education sector. This letter states that a bespoke assurance process will be developed for 2015-16, with integration within the mainstream NHS planning guidance process from 2016-17 onwards.<\/p> <\/p>"}
