Commissioning Mental Health Services

This work seeks to answer questions such as: in the age of evidence-based and primary-care led services, which mental health services should be provided for each local area?; what range of services is needed and how much?; what balance should be struck between inn-patient and community services?; and how do social and housing services fall into the whole spectrum of care?. It provides up-to-date information on research, policy and practice for those involved or interested in purchasing and commissioning mental health services.
