Review of Mental Health Services

The Southern Health & Social Care Trust was established with the amalgamation of 4 legacy Trusts. This prompted a need to review the Mental Health Service with the aim to provide a uniform service across the Southern Board area. The Trust’s delivery plan, outlined how they would meet the targets for improving and delivering a coherent and consistent Mental Health Service. The plan included a 13 week maximum waiting time for access to psychological therapies, increasing the choice of therapies for patients with mild to moderate conditions and empowering and increasing the workforce.
