Sunderland CCG Mental Health Strategy
NHS Sunderland Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) aims to ensure Better Health for Sunderland, and that the local NHS improves health and wellbeing in the City, supports us to keep mentally and physically well, to get better when we are ill and, when we cannot fully recovery, to stay as well as we can to the end of our lives. Mental health and wellbeing is fundamental to achieving a healthy, resilient and thriving population and in Sunderland; NHS Sunderland CCG would like to create a strategy for mental health in the City.
How mental health services currently look
Sunderland CCG commission a range of partners from various sectors including acute, community and voluntary to deliver mental health services to the residents of Sunderland.
Why do we need to change
Sunderland CCG find themselves at a point when they need to reflect on the national policy changes and determine local priorities for mental health going forward.
Mental health and wellbeing is a key priority within the draft Sunderland Healthy City Plan and at a time when resources are limited, they need to ensure that they can meet the demands on services and develop pathways which are sustainable and improve outcomes for patients, in-line with national guidance and priorities.
At a most opportune time and aligning with the development of our local mental health strategy, substantial national funding is to be made available to transform how community mental health services are delivered. This is an exciting and rare opportunity to significantly redesign models of care for adults and older people to ensure their needs are met.
