Abstract:
Work continues on developing currencies for use in the commissioning of mental health services for adults of working age and older people. The ultimate goal is the creation of a national tariff for these currencies.
The project is now in the second stage (see reports from Stage 1 of the project below). Following the consultation Options for the Future of PbR 2008/09 to 2010/11, which highlighted mental health as a priority area for PbR development, the Care Pathways and Package Project approach of grouping service users into categories based on need has been accepted as the model we are pursuing nationally.
A number of sites are further developing the Care Pathways and Packages work. More details can be found in factsheet 4.
