How does the Welsh Government plan the provision of mental health services?
Our long term plans have been set out in the recently published 10-year Mental Health and Well Being Strategy. The Welsh Government have also issued the NHS Wales Planning Framework 2025-2028 which outlines the high-level ambition for our health and care system and its key expectations in delivery.
Our strategy aligns to the National Clinical Framework that sets out a model for planning and delivery of clinical services and it highlights our commitment to develop a Mental Health Quality Statements. This will set out the vision for specific clinical services and pathways and be underpinned by more detailed service specifications describing the outcomes and benefits expected.
