The NHS Mental Health Implementation Plan-
The Long Term Plan 2019/20-2023-2024
The NHS Long Term Plan reaffirmed its commitment to pursuing the most
ambitious reform of mental health care in England's history. The current Mental
Health Implementation Plan is to establish a new structure for ensuring that they
carry out this promise locally.
In 2016, the Five Year Forward View for Mental Health was released, marking a
significant step forward by obtaining an additional £1 billion in funding specifically
for mental health services, allowing an additional 1 million individuals to be able to
access the service (NHS, 2019).

Looking Forward
Improvement Will Aid Communities Healthcare
Systems
The Long-Term Implementation for Older
People
By 2023/24, this Implementation Plan will guarantee that the NHS offers
high-quality, evidence-based mental health services to an extra two
million people through a fully funded national investment fund which is
worth an estimated £2.3 billion per year.
They have been able to set aspirational goals for improving mental
health care services because of this financing and the assistance of their
stakeholders. By 2023/24, 370,000 older adults who suffer from serious
mental health illness will have more control and have better choice when
it comes to their own care, including providing specialised services for
populations with unique requirements, such as those with personality
disorder for example with eating problems (NHS, 2019).
NHS England and NHS Improvement will aid local communities'
healthcare systems in addressing disparities in access, experiences, and
achievements by facilitating, encouraging, and ensuring specific, locally
focused initiatives. This encompasses the creation and transmission of
data, information, and tools to aid in the planning, developing and
delivering of local services (NHS, 2019).
The Long-Term Plan implementation presents a unique opportunity to
ensure older individuals have consistent access to mental health
services and information to address their own mental health issues and
their needs wherever they may present or develop one. Older people's
mental health is woven throughout all the adult mental health aspirations
as extremely important, including Improving access to Psychological
Therapies community-based services for individuals with severe mental
disorder and crisis and liaison with mental health care (NHS, 2019).

Working together to provide a better service for
older people with mental health needs
‘
All places must intend to expand older adults' access to and treatment in
all adult mental health services, consistent with local population (NHS,
2019).
Access to mental health services for older persons will be decided by their
needs, not their age (e.g., physical and mental health, co-morbid illnesses
and cognitive difficulties). This will be accomplished via the integration of
treatment and support across the boundaries of mental and physical
health, social care, and VCSE. (NHS, 2019).
In practise, this means that older peoples mental health services, such
as community-based mental health care, will interact more closely with
physical health services (NHS, 2019)'Aging Well' and older people's
services, that can provide coordinated care around the individual. This will
be accomplished through collaborative care strategies. Working together
as a team to accomplish the persons support and needs (NHS, 2019).
