Mental Health Services: Standards
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what progress his Department has made on the development of a Modern Service Framework for severe mental illness, and what timeline he has set for its publication.
Answered by Preet Kaur Gill
The Modern Service Framework for Severe Mental Illness is an important part of our new approach to mental health. To ensure that we get this right, we are engaging extensively with the mental health sector, including people with lived experience. We are also working to build on the findings from the independent review into prevalence and support, the evaluation of the community based mental health centres, and ensure alignment with the new Mental Health Strategy. We will confirm timelines for publication of the Modern Service Framework in due course.
