NHS Long Term Plan
Details
The NHS has been marking its 70th anniversary, and the national debate this has unleashed has centred on three big truths. There’s been pride in our Health Service’s enduring success, and in the shared social commitment it represents. There’s been concern – about funding, staffing, increasing inequalities and pressures from a growing and ageing population. But there’s also been optimism – about the possibilities for continuing medical advance and better outcomes of care.
In looking ahead to the Health Service’s 80th birthday, this NHS Long Term Plan takes all three of these realities as its starting point. So to succeed, we must keep all that’s good about our health service and its place in our national life. But we must tackle head-on the pressures our staff face, while making our extra funding go as far as possible. And as we do so, we must accelerate the redesign of patient care to future proof the NHS for the decade ahead. This Plan sets out how we will do that. We are now able to because:
• first, we now have a secure and improved funding path for the NHS, averaging 3.4% a year over the next five years, compared with 2.2% over the past five years;
• second, because there is wide consensus about the changes now needed. This has been confirmed by patients’ groups, professional bodies and frontline NHS leaders who since July have all helped shape this plan – through over 200 separate events, over 2,500 separate responses, through insights offered by 85,000 members of the public and from organisations representing over 3.5 million people;
• and third, because work that kicked-off after the NHS Five Year Forward View is now beginning to bear fruit, providing practical experience of how to bring about the changes set out in this Plan. Almost everything in this Plan is already being implemented successfully somewhere in the NHS.

Adult Eating Disorders: Community, Inpatient and Intensive Day Patient Care Guidance for Commissioners and Providers
Details
As part of the NHS Long Term Plan, local areas will be supported to redesign and reorganise community mental health services to move towards a new place-based, multidisciplinary service across health and social care aligned with primary care networks. By 23/24 there will be new and integrated models of primary and community mental health care to support at least 370,000 adults and older adults per year including those living with eating disorders, to give them greater choice and control over their care and support them to live well in their communities.
Who is it for?
This guidance is primarily for commissioners and providers of adult eating disorder services (age 18 years and above), as well as people who use services and those who support them.

The Community Mental Health Framework for Adults and Older Adults
Details
Community mental health services have long played a crucial yet under-recognised role in the delivery of mental health care, providing vital support to people with mental health problems closer to their homes and communities since the establishment of generic community mental health teams (CMHTs) for adults 30 years ago. However, the model of care is now in need of fundamental transformation and modernisation. This Framework provides an historic opportunity to address this gap and achieve radical change in the design of community mental health care by moving away from siloed, hard-to-reach services towards joined up care and whole population approaches, and establishing a revitalised purpose and identity for community mental health services.
It supports the development of Primary Care Networks, Integrated Care Systems (ICSs) and personalised care, including how these developments will help to improve care for people with severe mental illnesses.
