Not Addressed
The government partially accepts this recommendation. We will consider a plan for the scale-up of community based mental health centres following the formal evaluation of the pilots. The plan will need to be informed by the formal evaluation and initial findings from the pilots, ensuring that lessons learned are embedded and that future scale up delivers accessible and equitable neighbourhood mental health support across England.
