Great to see our WHOLE-SMI work cited in the new UK Parliament Health and Social Care Committee report into Community Mental Health. Recommendations for longer commissioning contracts, cross-sector workforce development and more person-centred care are vital. committees.parliament.uk/work/8755/co...
